What Is Covered By Homeowners Insurance?

Benzinga

Homeowners insurance is one of the most powerful ways to protect your property and personal possessions in the event of damage, natural disaster, theft or personal liability. You’ll almost always need to acquire homeowners insurance if you’re applying for a mortgage, and it’s generally considered a wise move. Your home is probably your most valuable asset, and it’s not a good idea to leave it unprotected. Take a look at what’s covered by homeowners insurance and why it can be a smart investment. What is a Homeowners Insurance Policy? Homeowners insurance is a type of protection that covers damage to a property, theft or loss of possessions within the home and personal liability for injuries to others. Sometimes, it can cover alternative housing expenses as you wait for your house to be rebuilt. Homeowners insurance policies can vary widely, but they generally all cover the same basics. For additional insurance, you may want to opt for a more wide-ranging policy or one that covers your specific needs. Understanding Homeowners Insurance Coverage Let’s take a deeper look into homeowners insurance coverage and what you need to know. Damage to the Interior or Exterior of Your Home In the case your home is damaged from a disaster like fire, hurricanes, lightning or vandalism, your homeowners insurance will provide funds to repair or completely rebuild your home. Coverage often also extends to the contents within your home, such as furniture, appliances and other valuables. As long as it's covered by an insured disaster, you should be able to receive its full market value. In most cases, destruction from floods, earthquakes or poor home maintenance is not covered by general policies, and you’ll need to pay extra for these protections. Fine art, expensive clothing and jewelry may not be covered by all homeowners insurance policies or limited in the coverage of these items. So it’s important to itemize your valuables if you’d like them to be protected. You typically have the option to insure these items as a floater to your existing homeowners policy, or you may wish to insure them separately through a specialty jewelry insurance company. Personal Liability for Damage or Injuries Personal liabilities protect you from lawsuits arising from harm, injuries and other damages caused by you, your home or someone in your household. Say your dog bites someone and they sue you for their medical bills, or your child heads to a friend’s house and ends up breaking a valuable piece of decor — these are just some of the scenarios where homeowners insurance can protect you. The amount of coverage you receive for personal liability will depend on your specific policy and how much coverage you’ve paid for. Hotel or House Rental While Your Home is Being Rebuilt or Repaired In case of a disaster that causes major damage, you may need to find additional housing until your home is repaired or rebuilt. If you ever find yourself in this situation, you’ll be grateful for homeowners insurance as it can reimburse you for rent, hotels and meals. The policy will specify daily limits on how much you can spend, but you may be able to increase this amount if you pay more for your policy. Types of Homeowners Coverage Home insurance coverage is unique to your situation. The type of coverage you receive and the payout in the event of a disaster will depend on how much you are willing to pay for a policy. At a glance, here are the three most common types of coverage. Actual Cash Value An actual cash value policy will cover the entire cost of your home in the event of a disaster plus the value of your belongings. Depreciation is typically accounted for. Replacement Cost A replacement cost policy works like an actual cash value policy; however, the main difference is that with this policy, depreciation is not deducted. This means you’ll be able to repair or rebuild your property up to its original value. Guaranteed or Extended Replacement Cost/Value This policy tends to be the most generous, as it covers the complete restoration of your home even if costs go over your initial policy limit. With an extended replacement, you may be able to access up to 25% more than the coverage you purchased. This feature can help offset the costs of rebuilding your home, especially at current prices taking inflation into account. What Isn't Covered by Homeowners Insurance? Most homeowners insurance policies will not cover jewelry, artwork and other collectibles. Identity theft protection, damage caused by an earthquake or a flood, damage caused by pests or mold and maintenance repairs are also not typically covered. If you live in an area that is prone to flooding or earthquakes, you will need to pay more to receive coverage in these areas. Even in scenarios where your homeowners insurance policy covers valuables in your home like art or jewelry, it will generally not cover the full amount unless you make special arrangements for coverage and pay more for your policy. Recommended Additional Insurance Coverage Considering that not all your property and valuables are covered by homeowners insurance, you may want to opt for additional protections. In case of a disaster, break-ins or misplacing items, you’ll want the peace of mind of knowing that their value won’t be lost forever. Take a look at some noteworthy options for additional insurance coverage. Additional Living Expenses Coverage Homeowners insurance does cover basic living costs when you’re displaced from your home. However, most policies tend to have strict limits on daily spending. Additional Living Expenses (ALE) coverage goes a step further than traditional homeowners insurance to make sure you’ll have enough for housing, food, storage and other costs that arise from having to find temporary living arrangements. Specialty or Investment Jewelry Coverage Homeowners insurance policies won’t always cover your high-priced jewelry, and even when a policy does, it’s rare that you’ll receive the full value in reimbursement. When homeowner's insurance is not enough to cover your investment jewelry, you may want to opt for a policy that offers full protection, such as one through BriteCo. BriteCo offers affordable yet comprehensive insurance policies that protect your prized jewelry with up to 125% replacement value. Opt for specialty coverage that includes loss, theft, damage and mysterious disappearance, with no deductibles. Learn more at BriteCo. Liability Coverage A single lawsuit can inflict considerable damage on your finances. Liability coverage protects you in case someone is hurt on your property or if you or someone living in your home accidentally hurts another person or damages their belongings. Scenarios like these can give way to lawsuits, which in worst-case scenarios can cause considerable financial damage. Although most homeowners insurance policies offer some protections against personal liability, it’s rare to find full coverage. If you have kids or don’t want to be responsible in case someone is injured in your home, purchasing additional liability coverage can offer peace of mind. Don’t Cut Corners with Your Insurance Coverage Homeowners insurance offers considerable coverage for safeguarding your most important assets. This includes your home but can also extend to the valuables within your home, living expenses if you are displaced and personal liability. Almost all mortgage providers will require homeowners insurance. But the exact policy you receive will ultimately be up to you. You may want a general policy or more extensive coverage. In many cases, it can also be wise to get additional coverage for your most prized possessions, such as art or jewelry. When it comes to insurance, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Landmark Global Review of the Engineering Response to Covid-19 Calls for Action to Ensure Future Pandemic Resilience

Engineering X

Engineering X review of pandemic preparedness identifies key vulnerabilities Senior leaders endorse the need for comprehensive action by policymakers, business and academic leaders worldwide Systemic barriers—including a lack of collaboration mechanisms, insufficient data and skills, and limited understanding and consideration of the role of engineering—reduced the ability of engineers to deliver timely and effective responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a comprehensive review of the global engineering response, published today by Engineering X. The findings of the global review will today be presented to senior delegates from 30 countries during the annual conference of the International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences in Versailles, France. The Global review of the engineering response to COVID-19: lessons learned for preparedness and resilience, produced in partnership with Dalberg Advisors, was conceived by the Engineering X Pandemic Preparedness programme at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in November 2020 to learn lessons and make recommendations to ensure that a more systemic engineering response is put in place to improve preparedness for future pandemics. Ensuring that datasets and data systems used for decision-making are up-to-date and bias-free, equipping emergency response task forces with more engineering capability, and encouraging the use of open science and data sharing standards are just three of the actions recommended by the review group. Informed by data, case studies and comment from more than 40 countries, the review highlights the breadth of contributions made by engineers and engineering globally in responding to key challenges across sectors, disciplines, geographies, and across pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. It calls on governments, policy makers, public health actors, academia and funders, along with the engineering community, to identify and close structural gaps in resilience against future pandemics, to invest in skills, training and capacity of engineers all around the world, and to develop robust platforms for collaboration within engineering and between engineering and other disciplines. The review highlights transformational innovations in low resource contexts as well as world-changing advances in medical and communication technologies, the pivotal role of data collection, distribution and management, and the importance of applying a systems lens to complex multifaceted challenges. It identifies six major challenges during COVID-19 where engineers made key contributions: Providing high-quality and timely data in near real-time and in appropriate formats, leveraging big data and mobile data for modelling and contact tracing. Innovating rapidly to provide novel health solutions, in collaboration with scientists and clinicians, such as in the design of PPE, diagnostics, breathing aids, vaccines and digital health tools. Designing products and services for diverse environments and user bases to reduce inequality of access and outcomes, such as customised PPE or wastewater testing and vaccine delivery for low-resource settings. Pivoting existing industrial capacity and building new capacity to ramp up production of essential medical and non-medical products such as alcohol manufacturers making hand sanitisers and expanding local vaccine manufacture. Upgrading and streamlining global supply chains to help delivery of essential medical and non-medical products, such as cold chains and drones for last mile delivery of vaccines. Bolstering and ensuring the resilience of societal systems and infrastructure, such as energy and water supplies, or expanding connectivity and digital solutions for remote education or working. The report identifies key drivers that made engineers especially useful during the COVID-19 response, such as rallying around a shared sense of purpose, which empowered them to take risks and to innovate in unprecedented timeframes. For example, engineers from University College London (UCL) designed a breathing aid prototype in under 100 hours and partnered with Mercedes AMG, who repurposed their Formula 1 factories to produce 1,000 devices a day. The open-source design has been made available to local manufacturers around the world. Professor Peter Guthrie OBE FREng, Chair of the Engineering X Pandemic Preparedness board that commissioned the review, said: “As the COVID-19 virus and its impact continues to evolve, there is a need to reflect on the efficacy of our response to it so far and how things might be handled better in the future. Our hope is that we can use the insights provided by this truly global overview of the engineering response to COVID-19 to better integrate engineering skills and habits of mind into resilience policies and structures all around the world, to improve our recovery from the virus, and to help us on the path to a safer, more prepared and resilient future.” Professor Rebecca Shipley OBE, Director of the UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Co-Lead of the UCL Ventura CPAP breathing device programme, said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the pivotal role that engineers play in responding to public health emergencies and resilience planning. There are important lessons that we must learn around understanding the needs of providing healthcare in diverse, global settings and working collaboratively across sectors, listening and building trust. Now is the time for governments and international organisations to act on these lessons.” Sir Richard Feachem KBE FREng, Professor Emeritus of Global Health at the Institute for Global Health Sciences, University of California San Francisco, said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has acted as a reminder that a global emergency requires a global response, and that no single country or discipline can tackle a crisis alone. This report reinforces this message and focuses on the role of engineering in this fight. It calls on the global community to learn lessons and act to improve our future pandemic response—creating better mechanisms for global collaboration and coordination, engaging with stakeholders from across disciplines, and developing the skills needed to prevent, prepare for and respond to pandemics.” End NB This press release and the Executive Summary of the global review are both available in French, Spanish and Arabic here: engineeringx.raeng.org.uk/pandemic-preparedness Notes for Editors Dalberg Advisors (2022).
