After passing through the U.S Virgin Islands, Tropical Storm Dorian is now expected to make landfall along Florida’s east coast.
As this event is now being reported in the media, there is no cover for claims arising from this storm for policies purchased after 6:00pm (NZST) on 29 August 2019.
I’m heading on holidays to this region - what does this mean for me?
