What is DASK Insurance?
The DASK (Earthquake Insurance) policy, which is required as a mandatory document in all title deed and installation contract transactions, is a policy that must be taken out within the scope of the “Disaster Law” for buildings constructed as residences on immovable properties registered to the title deed and subject to private ownership, and independent sections used for workplaces and similar purposes within these buildings. It is a policy that provides coverage for earthquake and earthquake-induced fire, tsunami and landslide for the limits specified under the relevant law. The DASK Policy provides coverage only for the building. For a complete insurance coverage in case of an earthquake, you can obtain coverage for the part between the limits set by DASK and the construction cost of your building and your belongings within the scope of the housing policy.
DASK (Earthquake Insurance) policy is a type of insurance that protects property owners against the risk of earthquakes in Turkey. DASK is a government-backed insurance program offered by the “Natural Catastrophe Insurance Institution”. This insurance service aims to make buildings earthquake-resistant and to financially protect property owners against damages that may occur as a result of earthquakes. Due to its geographical location, Turkey is a country that is frequently hit by earthquakes, and in this case, the Dask Policy is an important element of the protection and prevention efforts against earthquake damage in a country like Turkey.
