The Founder and Senior partner of Kaya Partner Lawyers delivered speech on DASK Earthquake Insurance: Turkish Natural Catastrophe Insurance Pool
Turkey implemented new building standards, of which many regulations stem from Japan’s experience of earthquakes. However, they still require every house owner to purchase Turkish DASK insurance. This insurance pool aims to re-instate insured properties to the condition they were in before any disaster. The pool replaces the need to rely on public funds, which would already be impacted by any disaster. Members on the board include people with degrees in civil engineering and geophysics.
In Turkey many people think the DASK insurance policy would only kick in if your home collapsed, but they include damage caused by tremors and aftershocks. Examples include structural defaults after a minor quake in the walls, doors, and windows. Sold at any low cost, it does not include the cost of removing debris but is worthwhile for house owners to buy into it. It also covers natural disasters and hazards like landslides and flooding from tsunamis because Turkey has a vast coastline.
The annual conference is the flagship event in the LawNet calendar each year, attracting world class speakers and bringing together senior partners and management teams from across the network to debate key industry issues.
