Storm Damage: We are here at your service

Dear customers, as agents of Oren-Mizrach Insurance, we are here to provide information, guidance, and personal services in handling your storm-damage claims for vehicles and homes.

The recent severe storm caused major flooding, as we have all seen on TV. Flooded cities, neighborhoods that turned into Venice overnight, homes and apartments filled with water – all scenes we are not accustomed to in warm Israel, which typically faces dry winters. The last time Israel experienced floods of this scale was in 1992.

It is clear that the storm and flooding are a large-scale insurance event, with national and municipal implications, as well as, of course, private and business-related impacts.

What should you know?

First and foremost, there is one simple and basic rule: If you are insured – you are covered.

• Comprehensive Auto Insurance
• Home Insurance – Structure
• Home Insurance – Contents
• Business Insurance
• Mortgage Insurance

Your property was damaged in the storm? If you haven't contacted your Oren Mizrach insurance agent, please do so as soon as possible. We are here to provide information, guidance and professional service.

Those who are not insured may seek assistance from their local authority. This may be helpful, at least in part, in cases where the property damage was also caused by negligence on the part of the responsible authorities.

What's next?

One cannot predict whether a storm of this magnitude will occur again next year, or whether several more years shall pass before the next one. Some associate these weather events with climate-related phenomena that are intensifying worldwide. However, even less intense storms can still cause flooding and additional damage.

Insurance is not a guessing game. People purchase insurance to protect against the unexpected, with the hope that it will never be required.

Those who weathered the current storm with appropriate insurance coverage know the investment pays off and understand the value of peace of mind. Those who were not insured, learned it … the hard way.

We are here. At your service.
