Only one in five RO homes are insured against earthquake

Only one out of five Romanian’s 9 million homes are insured [against earthquakes] although earthquakes represent the second risk that Romanians are worried about when it comes to their homes (57%), after fires (65%), according to a study carried by the Romanian Institute for Evaluation and Strategy (IRES) for UNSAR to mark 43 years since the 1977 earthquake, according to Romania-Insider.com.

“We continue to carry out sociological research and online information campaigns on the importance of home insurance on an annual basis.
