Allianz General Insurance Malaysia Berhad has called on the public to take proactive steps to prepare for potential flooding as the monsoon season and La Nina phenomenon approach. Given Malaysia’s susceptibility to floods, which can severely damage properties and infrastructure and pose significant risks to lives, the company emphasises the importance of readiness.
Sean Wang, CEO of Allianz General, highlighted the necessity of flood preparedness, stating, “We cannot stress enough the importance of being prepared for floods. It is crucial to be aware of the risks and to take the necessary precautions to ensure we stay safe.” The company is committed to equipping policyholders with the necessary resources and support to protect their assets and ensure safety during this period.
Allianz General has released a ‘General Flood Guide’ for commercial and small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) policyholders, offering practical advice for business continuity before, during, and after floods. The guide includes flood preparedness steps and useful contact information for government agencies.
For homeowners, Allianz General’s Smart Home Cover provides protection against ten unexpected events, including floods, hurricanes, and storms. Car owners can opt for Allianz Motor Private Car Comprehensive with special peril coverage for flood protection, whilst motorcyclists can secure similar coverage through Allianz Motorcycle Plus Comprehensive.
Allianz General encourages residents and businesses to review their current insurance coverage and consider adding flood protection options. By taking proactive measures now, individuals and businesses can significantly reduce the impact of floods and expedite recovery.
