Hazard Insurance

A property insurance policy that provides coverage for catastrophic events named in the policy. For example, hazard may cover hurricanes and fires, but not tornadoes. Hazard insurance may not cover even the most common events, especially in high-risk areas. For this reason, some property owners buy named perils policies to supplement hazard insurance.
