Buying Earthquake Insurance makes Financial Sense If you live in California.
If you live in California and can’t afford to rebuild your home then buying earthquake insurance makes financial sense. Moderate-sized, potentially damaging earthquakes could occur anywhere in California at any time. Earthquakes may be preceded by an increase in seismic activity. If you live in a quake-prone region, protect your home investment by buying earthquake insurance and retrofitting your home.
Homeowners Insurance policies have a fixed dollar amount deductible, (e.g. $500). Earthquake policies are different. Their deductible is a percentage figure. Earthquake policies will not pay a claim until the deductible is met; so on a home with $500,000 of coverage and a 15% deductible, the homeowner will be covering the first $75,000 of damage. The damage to your structure must exceed your deductible to trigger a payment, and the payment will only be the amount of repair costs above your deductible.
The best way to protect your home is to buy Earthquake Insurance and to retrofit to reduce the risk of severe earthquake damage to your home. It is that simple. But, even if you don’t buy earthquake Insurance make sure to retrofit to reduce your loses in the event of an Earthquake. Retrofitting include bracing your water heater, installing “sheer” panels and bolting your foundation. You can look at illustrations of these basic retrofits at:

A licensed contractor can perform these tasks for a reasonable cost; they don’t have to be someone who advertises themselves as a retrofitting or seismic specialist. The Contractors State Licensing Board can help if you have concerns about a proposal, pricing, or quality of work, In California, find them online at http://www.cslb.ca.gov/consumers, or call them at 1-800 321-2752
Tips for Buying Earthquake Insurance;
If you live in a quake-prone region of California, protect your investment in your home by retrofitting and buying earthquake insurance.
Buy Earthquake insurance with limits that are adequate to fully replace your property, engineering costs, and comply with new building code requirements, temporary living expenses, etc. Going without Earthquake insurance means you have a 100% deductible…you’ll bear the entire risk yourself.
Don’t assume that FEMA, the Small Business Administration (SBA) and/or private charities will bail you out with funds to rebuild after a major disaster. FEMA has very limited funds and strict eligibility criteria. SBA loans are modest and must be repaid. Private charities are being severely stretched by an ever-increasing demand for their services.
