 What is earthquake insurance in Turkey ? 

Earthquake insurance in Turkey is a compulsory insurance for real estate in Turkey , whether residential or non-residential , and it covers the expenses of repairing damage to real estate that is secured against earthquakes if they were exposed to an earthquake or natural disasters .

Earthquake insurance was imposed in Turkey after the Marmara earthquake in 1999 and it is mandatory for all real estate owners in Turkey , whether they are Turkish or foreigners of all nationalities .

The Turkish government established the Foundation for Natural Disaster Insurance , known as DASK , to be the institution to which earthquake insurance is paid in Turkey and supervised by the Turkish Ministry of Finance , after 2012 .

And the Turkish government guarantees the destruction of all buildings that are unsafe from the seismic side and rebuilding them according to modern conditions , while obliging construction companies in the private sector to achieve the conditions of seismic security while exercising control over them .

The Turkish government has also undertaken a comprehensive study of all of Turkey's buildings in terms of their ability to resist earthquakes .

 

 Who pays earthquake insurance in Turkey ? And when ? And where ? 

Earthquake insurance is paid in Turkey by the property owner , and the tenant has nothing to do with the insurance .

And he pays the insurance for the first time at the beginning of building the property to obtain specific services that can only be obtained after paying the earthquake insurance in Turkey , and from these services related to paying the insurance are electricity , water , gas , telephone and internet services .

The DASK document is a prerequisite when opening water , electricity and gas meters as this is only possible after paying the insurance value for the first time , and water , electricity and gas meters can open by the property owner himself or the tenant , provided that he gets a copy of the seismic insurance policy DASK , and then the property owner pays earthquake insurance on an annual basis according to a specific date that is determined by the DASK Foundation .

Earthquake insurance is paid in Turkey at banks , the post office , and insurance companies .
