New research from NRMA Insurance has indicated that most Australians preparing for summer holidays are prioritising household cleanliness over protecting their homes from severe weather.
The insurer’s survey found that 67% of Australians plan to clean their homes before heading away on holiday, with women being slightly more likely to do so at 71%.
The Wild Weather Tracker, which monitors seasonal severe weather claims across Australia, aims to encourage property owners to take preventive measures year-round. The data is based on a survey of 3,510 respondents conducted by Pureprofile in November.
