The pictures of destruction caused by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria have shaken many. Frank Hoogerbeets, a Dutch researcher who predicted the series of massive earthquakes, says the India-Pakistan-Afghanistan region is also susceptible to such tremors.

While natural calamities and the damage they cause are not under one’s control, one can pay a small premium and hedge the risk arising from such events.

“Home insurance is not as popular as other forms of insurance. But it makes sense to safeguard your home, one of your most important assets, with adequate insurance cover, especially if you live in a place prone to natural calamities,” says Tarun Mathur, co-founder & chief business officer-general insurance, Policybazaar.com.
