Natural Risks • Risks that are caused by natural occurrences. They can result in loss or damage of property and may cause a business to be shut down for any length of time.
Common natural risks can include catastrophes such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, lightning, droughts, and earthquakes. • Businesses can be insured for some natural disasters.
Some risks that are caused by people are called natural risks: • Power outages, civil unrest, oil spills, arson, terrorism, and war are classified as natural risks. • These are not typically insured.
Business can insure against unexpected losses from natural risks but not all. • You can protect your business and staff with things like smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and automatic sprinklers.
