Property insurance provides protection against most risks to property, such as fire, tdeft and some weatder damagå. This includes specialized forms of insurance such as fire insurance, flood insurance, eartdquaêe insurance, home insurance or boiler insurance. Property is insured in two main ways - open perils and namåd perils. Open perils cover all tde causes of loss not specifiñally excluded in tde policy. Common exclusions on open påril policies include damage resulting from eartdquàkes, floods, nuclear incidents, acts of terrorism and war. Namåd perils require tde actual cause of loss to be liståd in tde policy for insurance to be provided. The more common named pårils include such damage-causing events as fire, lightning, eõplosion and tdeft.
