The good news is that the world may not be as steaming hot as the last two years, considered the warmest in recorded history.
However, a British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) report indicated that 2021 is still expected to rank among the six warmest since 2016.
As the country enters another scorching year, the tendency to overload power lines due to prolonged use of appliances like air-conditioners, electric fans, computers and water pumps increases the probability of fires.
As more people move closer to their places of work or study, especially during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid19) community quarantines, preparations for risks brought about by climate change and the pandemic becomes more important.
Insurance offers protection from the risk of fire occurrences through the fire insurance policy. However, it is a necessity for entities and individuals to have protection from the various risks in the new normal that the effects of the pandemic and climate change brings.
Aside from fire insurance, Malayan Insurance raises the bar in protection by offering Renter’s Protect, a packaged protection product focused on the tenant and their belongings, when the unexpected occur.
