Why should you get renters insurance in Virginia?
Fire
Fire is a risk in all states, including Virginia. The U.S. Fire Administration reports that direct property loss due to fires was estimated at $9.8 billion in 2004. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, apartment fires accounted for 23 percent of residential fires between 1992 and 2001 as well as accounted for 20 percent of the dollar loss from residential fires during these years. With these kinds of statistics, it is better to be prepared and protect your property from this risk.
Tropical Storms and Hurricanes
Hurricanes and tropical storms are a threat for Virginia, as well as all states along the U.S. coastline. Hurricane Katrina was the third-most intense hurricane to ever hit the United States since reliable records began in 1851, according to the National Weather Service. Damage from the hurricane is still being assessed, but the expected damage incurred ranges from $40 billion to $60 billion. Hurricane Camille, the most powerful storm in U.S. history, devastated the coast of Mississippi. As the storm moved inland, it flooded areas of Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia.
