Namhye-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has renewed the 'Citizen Safety Insurance' to stabilize the lives of residents who suffer damage from unexpected disasters and accidents occurring in daily life.
All residents registered in the jurisdiction (including registered foreigners) are automatically enrolled without any separate subscription procedure, and the enrollment cost is fully covered by Namhye-gun.
The insurance period is from March 1 to February 28 of next year, and coverage is provided regardless of overlap with other insurance policies.
The coverage includes a total of 25 items such as ▲death or permanent disability due to agricultural machinery accidents ▲death or permanent disability due to fire, explosion, collapse, or landslide ▲death from natural disasters ▲death from drowning accidents ▲death or permanent disability from robbery injuries ▲injury costs from violent crimes ▲death or permanent disability from public transportation accidents ▲burn surgery expenses, with insurance payouts up to 20 million KRW.
Especially this year, the coverage scope has been expanded by newly adding the social disaster (excluding infectious diseases) death category.
Insurance claims can be filed within three years from the date of the accident by the insured or their family by submitting supporting documents to NH Nonghyup Insurance.
A county official stated, “We plan to continuously promote the Citizen Safety Insurance so that residents can live safely and healthily. We will do our best to create a community where residents can live with peace of mind.”
