How to protect income after floods, fire or disruption

A flood or fire can interrupt income even when it does not cause a life-insurance claim. A resilient plan combines emergency cash, suitable property or business cover and protection for the people who depend on the earner.

What to check

Map the risks separately: damage to property, loss of stock, inability to work, debt repayments and family living costs. Different policies address different parts.

What could change the answer

Life insurance is not property insurance, and business interruption cover may require an insured physical event. Do not assume one policy covers every consequence.

A practical next step

Photograph assets, keep records off-site, build an emergency buffer and ask a licensed insurer which cover responds to each risk.
