Earthquake Insurance, Do You Really Need It?

Earthquake Facts

A chorus of experts reminds us that there is a 99 percent probability of an earthquake measuring 6.7 or greater hitting California within the next 28 years.  Considering the risk, it’s alarming that only 10 percent of California residents have earthquake insurance.

In fact, it’s not if a large earthquake will happen, but when a large earthquake will happen. If you live in California this is an inevitable fact.  Create a good emergency plan for your family and buy earthquake insurance. There hasn’t been major damage from an earthquake in quite a long time so buy a policy now while it’s cheap and still available.  If a major earthquake does happen, insurers will stop writing new policies and be under a moratorium.
