Property insurance provides protection to property and stocks against
perils such as
fire, theft and named weather damages. This includes specialized form of insurance such as
fire
insurance, flood insurance, earthquake insurance, home insurance, or boiler insurance.
Property is
insured in two main ways—all perils and named perils.
All risk perils cover all the causes of loss not specifically excluded in
the policy.

insurance to be
provided. The more common named perils include such damage-causing events as fire,
lightning, explosion,
