Earthquake Insurance

What is Earthquake Insurance?

Earthquake insurance is a specialized policy that provides coverage for damages resulting from earthquakes, which are typically excluded from standard homeowners or commercial property insurance policies. This type of insurance is crucial for those living in areas prone to seismic activity.

Types of Coverage:

1. Building Coverage:

Covers the physical structure of your home or commercial property against earthquake-related damages, including structural repairs and rebuilding costs.

2. Personal Property Coverage:

Protects your belongings, such as furniture, electronics, and appliances, from damage caused by earthquakes.

3. Additional Living Expenses (ALE):

If your home becomes uninhabitable due to earthquake damage, this coverage helps pay for temporary housing costs, including hotel stays and meals.
