Craigieburn a storm damage hotspot

Key points

• Craigieburn has been named one of Victoria's storm hotspots, according to new insurer AAMI data. The analysis of home insurance claims from 2022 to 2026 shows severe storms do not always hit the same place.
• Werribee, Shepparton, Mulgrave and Highton have each topped the list in a different year. AAMI says every Victorian household should prepare for severe storms.
• Victoria SES advises cleaning gutters and drains, trimming branches and tying down loose outdoor items.
