New Storm and Flood Insurance Cover on Glasshouses

VOLUNTARY insurance of glass- ▼ houses against losses due to any storm or flood is now available on application to the Earthquake and War Damage Commission.

The rates are:— All storm and flood damage: Wooden frame, 10s. per £100; metal frame 9s. per £lOO. Storm and flood damage excluding hailstone damage: Wooden frame ss. per £100; metal frame 4s. per £lOO. These rates are for glasshouses in good condition with glass of not less than 18oz. Houses of 240 z. glass are insured for Is. per £lOO less than the rate otherwise chargeable. The first 5 per cent, or £2O of any loss, whichever is the greater, is to be borne by the insured. Amendment No. 2 to the Earthquake and War Damage Regulations 1944 extended the Act to cover extraordinary disaster damage. This is defined as damage occurring as the direct result of storm or flood where the disaster is of an abnormal and unforeseen nature and is of extraordinary and widespread effect. To obtain the advantage of this insurance the glasshouse must be insured against fire and must be damaged by an extraordinary disaster, as defined in the Regulations. It does not apply to uninsured glasshouses or to isolated losses. For some years various insurance offices have offered insurance against hailstone damage, which has been of great help to growers. However, experience has shown that both storm and flood damage insurance is needed. Glasshouse owners interested in storm and flood damage insurance should write to: The Secretary, Earthquake and War Damage Commission, P.O. Box 5038, Wellington.
