SPD wants to oblige insurance companies to offer insurance against natural hazards for every residential building. The calculation of the premium amount and the scope of benefits should be required by law.
Not even every second property in Germany is insured against extreme weather events. The authors propose a mandatory system like in France. There, natural hazard insurance, in addition to that for residential buildings, costs 26 euros per year. The Bundestag parliamentary group wants to decide on this in the coming week of the meeting.
