Hinahamon ng Napier man ang insurance dahil sa mga mapa ng panganib ng baha, nakakakuha ng premium

Share:

Ang mga may-ari ng bahay sa Napier ay nahaharap sa pagtaas ng gastos sa seguro, na nakakita ng ilan ang mga premium nang triple mula nang tumama ang Cyclone Gabrielle noong unang bahagi ng 2023

Si Philip Dol, isang residente ng Te Arawa, ay nagtaas ng kanyang premium ng seguro mula $2,000 hanggang higit sa $5,000, na may isang kamakailang quote na malapit sa $8,000. Matapos suriin ang isang mapa ng panganib ng pagbaha mula sa Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, natuklasan ni Dol na nawawala ang mahalagang impormasyon tungkol sa kanyang mataas na ari-arian, na humantong sa mataas na premium.

Nagpahayag siya ng pag-aalala tungkol sa mabilis na pagtaas ng mga gastos at nagtataka kung gaano kataas ito sa hinaharap. Nang makipag-ugnay sa kanyang mga tagaseguro, nalaman niya na ang mga bagong mapa ay nagkategorya ng kanyang ari-arian bilang mataas na panganib para sa pagbaha at pagdudubog sa baybayin. Gayunpaman, nalaman niya na isang maliit na bahagi lamang ng kanyang driveway ang nasa itinalagang zone ng panganib.

Itinuro ni Dol na maraming mga tahanan ang apektado batay sa isang maliit na bahagi ng kanilang pag-aari, na tila hindi patas. Nagawa rin siya ng mga pagpapabuti sa kanyang ari-arian para sa kaligtasan ngunit pinayuhan na hamunin ang konseho sa mga mapa ng panganib.

Bilang resulta ng kanyang mga pagsisikap, parehong kanyang at higit sa 200 mga kalapit na tahanan ang tinanggal mula sa mga mapa ng panganib ng baha, na humantong sa insurance na bawasan ang premium ni Dol ng $880. Binigyang-diin niya ang pangangailangan ng transparent tungkol sa ginagamit ng data insurance upang magtakda ng mga premium, dahil maraming mga may-ari ng bahay ang naghihirap sa pagtaas ng mga bayarin.

Sinabi ni Karen Stevens, mula sa Ombudsman ng Insurance and Financial Services, ang isyung ito ay bahagi ng isang mas malaking problema sa data na umaasa ng mga tagasuro para sa mga desisyon. Hinihikayat niya ang mga mamimili na hamunin ang mga pagtaas batay sa pagmamapa Bagama’t kritikal ang tumpak na pag-mapping, madalas na hindi ito sumasalamin sa mga indibidwal na panganib sa pag-aari

Kinilala ni Stevens na nagbago ang pag-asa sa lokal na pagmamapa ng katawan para sa mga pagtatasa ng panganib dahil sa mga alalahanin sa pagbabago ng klima Hinikayat niya ang mga may-ari ng bahay na maunawaan ang kanilang mga panganib at kumilos kung naniniwala silang hindi tumpak ang kanilang mga pagtatasaya—tulad ni Dol, na naramdaman na ang kanyang mga hamon ay maaaring humantong sa mas mahusay na kinalabasan
