NSW Fires, Insurance, and bank Emergency packages

24/10/2013

Picture
The NSW Fires burning up our country and Australian homes are nothing short of distressing. My family witnessed the first great plumes of smoke in Bargo all the way from the east coast and heard the first ominous news that homes were lost in the Blue Mountains.  I was a branch manager back in Canberra when those fires hit and know all too well how quickly things can get out of hand. So people, insure your homes now and ensure you're covered. While you're there, considering insuring your lives or income too so that you're not just protecting your home, contents, but your capacity to earn money if something happens to you.

 For those of you in FNQ the cyclone season will be hitting soon too. It is too late to insure when your home is under threat.

For those of you seeking more information on fire safety, whether it be leaving early, or defending/protecting your home, visit this resourceful webpage from the RFS http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/dsp_content.cfm?cat_id=1150

When natural disasters hit, clients can generally take advantage of bank emergency packages to help them alleviate the short term pressures that may be upon them financially or personally. Please visit or phone your bank or lender for more information. Do not hesitate to contact us for contact details or assistance. I have pasted in below the Commonwealth Banks emergency package to give you an indication of what is available.

In some positive news, read here about the Commonwealth Banks $100,000 donation to help rebuild affected communities

CommBank acitivates emergency package to help customers affected by the NSW bushfires

 The Bank has activated its special emergency assistance package for customers and businesses affected by the bushfires and we will accept donations at our branches for the Commonwealth Bank Red Cross Emergency Appeal.

through CommInsure and their home has been damaged by the fire

CommInsure will fast-track claims for customers seeking help through their home and  contents insurance. Our priority is helping customers affected by bushfires and we are expecting high call volumes because of this crisis.
