In 2013, major flooding, fires, and other natural disasters across Canada caused insurers to pay out a record 3.2 billion in claims,and 2014 could be another record-breaker. Canada gets about 5,000 earthquakes every year, and flooding has been a major issue throughout the Maritimes as well as the prairies.
While extreme weather obviously isn't in your control,you can make a plan of what to do if you hear a storm is coming your way, because educating yourself is the best way to protect yourself and your family.
