Given that Turkey is an earthquake-prone country, Compulsory Earthquake Insurance (DASK), implemented to minimize material losses in the event of a possible earthquake, is a critical security system offered by the state. In addition to the damages directly caused by the earthquake, it also covers the material damages to your property caused by fire, explosion, tsunami or landslide resulting from the earthquake, in cash.
Why is DASK Important in Aydın Didim?
Didim, a shining star of tourism with its world-famous Altınkum Beach, the thousands-year-old Apollon Temple, and its modern marina, is an important settlement center in the Aydın region, which has active fault lines due to its geological structure. Given the seismic activity along the Aegean Sea coast, DASK (Compulsory Earthquake Insurance) is not just a "formality" for those who own or invest in property in Didim; it is a financial shield that protects the value of the property. Especially in recent years, Didim has become a focal point for both domestic and foreign investors, and having the legal processes for your property complete confirms the quality and security of your investment.
What Does Compulsory Earthquake Insurance Cover?
The DASK policy protects the main structure and common areas of the building. In case of complete destruction or partial damage to your building, the following areas are covered:
-
Foundations and main walls of the building.
-
Common walls separating independent sections.
-
Garden and retaining walls.
-
Ceilings, floors and stairs.
