Analyzed Insurance

As news and devastating pictures of the Haiti earthquake emerge today, I am sure we are all thinking of the horror the people of Haiti must be going through, and of the estimated 100,000 people who may have been killed in the quake.

I also think that here in Australia we must be grateful for many things. Firstly, that our country is not often subject to quakes of this magnitude. Secondly, that if such a massive earthquake was to occur, our building standards are of a greater standard and hopefully less devastation would occur than has done so in the shanty towns of Haiti.

Finally, it is reassuring to know that most Australians are both able to access and afford insurance to help protect themselves and their families in such a tragedy. Sadly once again, this is not the case in Haiti- already the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, it is hard to imagine how the poverty-stricken people of Haiti will recover from such a disaster.
