Cover for compulsory evacuation

Being required to evacuate your home by an authority in an emergency is stressful, and alternative accommodation during this time can be costly. So, from 1 October 2021, we’re helping cover the cost of alternative accommodation while it is unsafe for you and your family to be in your home, up to the limits outlined in your policy:

if you’re required to evacuate your principal residence by a local authority or government agency (like a council, Civil Defence, NZ Police or Fire and Emergency NZ)
because your property is at risk of damage, from an event that would be covered under your policy, and
where you have an Alternative Accommodation benefit.
