Disaster relief for hosts?

Disaster relief for hosts?

Hello. I have suggested to Airbnb that they establish a relief program for hosts, in order to provide us with support to allow us to rebuild or repair our properties after a disaster such as Hurricane Dorian. This is to Airbnb's advantage I believe, as it allows them to keep properties in their inventory. It could be something as small as refunding all of the service fees the affected property has earned Airbnb, or it could be a full disaster relief program. What do you think? Other ideas? Ways to get Airbnb to hear this idea?

Isn’t that what your property insurance is for @Monique51 .

 

At the end of the day we are individual businesses and need to insure appropriately to cover our risk such as taking out business interruption insurance.

 

The reality is hosts are 10 a penny. If one, ten or a hundred go down there are just as many to take their place.
