No one can.

No one gets insurance against acts of God; calling something an Act of God is just a ploy that the insurance company uses an excuse not to pay for damages. You can get insurance for specific occurences of random natural events, and then they are not called Acts of God. For example, when I lived in Phoenix, I had to get a rider on my auto insurance for damage caused by saguaro (a species of giant cactus). That's because for a couple days a year there are gale-force winds strong enough to knock one over, and when a 2,000-lb cactus falls on your car, you need a new car. If you don't buy the saguaro rider, your insurance company will call it an Act of God and refuse to pay for it.
Weaseling out of paying by calling something an Act of God might work on some gullible religious twit, but an atheist would just point out that since God doesn't exist, he couldn't very well have caused the freak storm that put a tree through their living room. Are you suggesting that a figment of your imagination caused these damages?

Generally most home owners insurance covers things such as acts of God, and your medical insurance should cover the cost of recovery, and life insurance will protect your family when the worst happens. As far as after that, you're on your own.

Acts of God are an excuse not to pay.
My first house flooded and they called that an act of God and refused to pay.
I kindly showed them the Bible and the passage that informed us God would not flood anymore.
It worked.
I got paid.
Funny, though, my next policy did not state acts of God anywhere.

Yes. Lloyds of London will insure anything. However, it may cost a lot.

My insurance company doesn't have any terms like that in the contract. I guess they're smart enough to state clearly what they will and will not cover.

It depends on the agent, and who (s)he's connected with.
