The One Word That Could Negate Your Travel Insurance Coverage

The One Word That Could Negate Your Travel Insurance Coverage

With travel insurance coverage (and any other kind of insurance coverage) the devil is in the details—more specifically, the fine print. And one word can make a huge difference in your risk coverage: "unforeseen."

If you've followed my travel insurance coverage at all, you might know these two important travel insurance basics: First, most policies exclude trip-cancellation (TCI) and medical coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. Second, many policies will waive that exclusion if you decide to purchase both TCI and medical coverage within a short time of making your initial travel insurance payment—about a week to a month after.

The 'Gotcha' Word in Your Travel Insurance Coverage

But the word "unforeseen" in your travel insurance plan can nullify that additional coverage you've purchased, which takes effect only if you are medically able to travel at the time you buy the insurance. If a pre-existing condition would prevent you from traveling at the time you buy the insurance, you won't be covered for any issues that stem from that condition. You can't figure, "I'll get over it," or "I'll cope," and must be able to travel upon purchasing the insurance.

A typical policy allows you to travel with a pre-existing condition that's under control thanks to medication—but it must be fully controlled when you buy the insurance. If you can't live with that uncertainty, buy a "cancel for any reason" policy, but read the fine print before you do.

In many cases, people with chronic medical problems can't insure their trips risk-free. If you're in that position, you can minimize your risk by making all of your arrangements refundable or cancellable, with only minimal penalties.

The "unforeseen" limitation appears in most travel insurance coverage policies, and can also come back to bite you in circumstances other than pre-existing medical conditions.

Say, for example, you're considering a trip to Florida, and at the time you make arrangements, a named tropical storm is already developing in the eastern Atlantic. If it becomes a hurricane and hits Florida, is it "unforeseen," or not? Here, my friends in the travel insurance business tell me, the answer isn't clear. Some policies would cover cancellation; others might not. The same is true for similar possible areas of unforeseen problems like political unrest, terrorism, and strikes.

The risk is fairly clear for medical pre-existing conditions. But for many more ambiguous contingencies, your best bet is to contact one of the big online travel insurance agencies and ask for a policy that will cover whatever specifics risks are of concern to you.

Tropical storm watch issued but the system is forecast to remain offshore

Mexico News Daily | Wednesday, October 4, 2017

A tropical storm watch has been issued on the Pacific coast of Mexico but the storm in question is a small one and is expected to remain offshore, the United States National Hurricane Center (NHC) said this morning.

However, it began delivering heavy rains to parts of Oaxaca Monday, hitting the coastal towns of Mazunte and San Agustinillo particularly hard and leaving flood damage in at least 50 business premises and dozens of homes.

Two inland communities were cut off by landslides.

Wet weather is forecast to continue on the Oaxaca and Guerrero coast as tropical storm Ramón makes its way west-northwest, parallel to the coastline.

At 10:00am CDT it was situated about 90 kilometers south of Puerto Àngel, which is located about 10 kilometers east of Mazunte.

Both towns are popular tourist destinations located between Huatulco and Puerto Escondido.

The tropical storm watch extends from Puerto Àngel to Acapulco.

The NHC said Ramón was a small tropical storm, but predicted 50 to 100 millimeters of rain with isolated amounts of 150 millimeters in parts of Oaxaca and Guerrero through tomorrow.

After Earthquake Devastation in Oaxaca, Hurricane Max Raises New Fears

REPORT

from Direct Relief

Published on 14 Sep 2017 —View Original

JUCHITÁN DE ZARAGOZA – A tropical storm on Mexico’s southwestern coast has just been upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane. Hurricane Max made landfall in Mexico’s state of Guerrero on Thursday afternoon, moving slowly inland. According to the Associated Press, Max has maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 kph), is located about 55 miles (90 kilometers) east-southeast of Acapulco and is heading toward the east at 8 mph (13 kph).

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said that the hurricane could bring “life-threatening flash floods and rainfall” to the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca—a concerning threat given that Oaxaca’s Isthmus of Tehuantepec is still in the earliest stages of recovery from last week’s historic 8.1 magnitude earthquake. In Juchitán, sporadic showers of heavy rain this morning left some streets flooded, raising concerns over what earthquake recovery will look like if more rains come.

Eduardo Mendoza, Direct Relief’s general manager of programs in Mexico, is also concerned about the spread of mosquito and water-borne illnesses if the rain does come. “Dengue and Chikungunya are endemic to the region, so we’re really concerned that people affected by the quake that are now living outside are at a higher risk,” he said.

Direct Relief staff have been here in Juchitán for the past week, working to provide much-needed aid and assistance in bringing medical supplies to the area after the earthquake took down the town’s hospital. “If we need to mobilize supplies for this hurricane, too, we’ll do it,” says Mendoza. “We’re busy, but this is what we’re here for.”

And just in case an earthquake and hurricane don’t feel like enough, Tropical Storm Norma isn’t far behind Max. Norma could potentially upgrade to a hurricane over the weekend and could make landfall in southern Baja on Monday. Meteorologists are still tracking the storm and say that the storm could curve west and completely miss the peninsula.

For now, the sun has climbed back in the sky in Juchitán. Flooded streets are drying up, but residents who know about the possibility of more rain are taking action. Because of the fear of aftershocks, many residents are still sleeping in the streets. Driving down the potholed roads this evening, a few can be seen hanging tarps over their hammocks or mattress pads.

Oaxaca turtle arrivals up 20% over last year

Two beaches recorded a record 2 million turtles

Mexico News Daily | Tuesday, October 3, 2017

The recovery of olive ridley sea turtles over the last decade appears to be well under way as up to 22% more turtles arrived on two beaches in Oaxaca to lay their eggs this season.

According to the National Commission for Natural Protected Areas (Conanp), almost two million tortugas golfinas, as olive ridleys are known in Mexico, came ashore at Morro Ayuta and Escobilla, a record figure for a sea turtle species that just 13 years ago was considered to be at a critical point for survival.

At Morro Ayuta beach, over one million olive ridleys deposited their eggs, up 22% compared to last year’s figures, when slightly more than 881,000 chelonians visited the Oaxaca beach.

Likewise, in the turtle sanctuary at Escobilla beach, also in Oaxaca state, the 877,000 turtles that arrived this year represent a 20% increase over the 2016 figure of 735,000.

Both beaches are considered by specialists as the most important areas in the world for the reproduction of the golfinas.

Turtle protection policies were enforced starting in 2004 after the International Sea Turtle Society (ISTS) alerted the Mexican government that depredation posed a serious threat to the species.

Poachers continue to steal eggs from the nests but efforts by Conanp, police, the military and local communities have curbed the practice, if the increased numbers are anything to go by. Even drones have been employed to conduct surveillance of beaches and stop the thefts.

Six of the seven living species of sea turtles come ashore on Mexican beaches to deposit their eggs. The olive ridleys have been protected by a fishing ban since 1990, and all six species have been considered endangered since 2010 by the Secretariat of the Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat).
