Does World Nomads travel insurance cover medical expenses as a result of a cyclone or hurricane?
Yes. If you’re unlucky enough to be injured by a cyclone or hurricane, our emergency assistance team can help you get to the nearest medical centre so you can receive the attention you need. They can also move you to another treatment centre if the one you're in isn't adequate for your medical needs. If the emergency assistance team decides you’re too badly hurt to stay on, they can take you home providing it's medically appropriate to do so. You can find out further information here
