This document is a report detailing the impact of wild weather in Australia during spring 2025, including a summary of claims received by NRMA Insurance. It outlines that over 13,100 claims were made nationally, with significant contributions from New South Wales and Queensland, where severe weather caused extensive damage. The report highlights that the total number of claims for the year has already surpassed the previous year's total, indicating an increasing trend in wild weather incidents. Additionally, it discusses the preparedness of Australians for extreme weather, noting that many individuals, particularly younger generations, lack the skills and confidence to prepare their homes adequately. The report emphasizes the importance of family collaboration in teaching essential home maintenance skills to ensure safety during severe weather events. It also provides recommendations for preparing homes, such as clearing gutters and securing outdoor items, to mitigate risks associated with wild weather.
