When The Ground Shakes, So Does Your Future – Part 2

When people know the kind of damage an earthquake can cause, why are they still so reluctant to invest in earthquake insurance? A major reason is the infrequency of the occurrence. Hurricanes, tornadoes and floods are far more common and although the damage they cause will be less than that of a major earthquake, people are aware of the dangers and protect themselves in varied ways, but having a homeowner’s insurance policy that covers these eventualities is not enough. You need earthquake insurance to protect you when the ground slides out from under you. The storms that lashed the Mid-West in the middle of April left a trail of havoc and loss in their wake, but no one was surprised that this should happen. These are common occurrences and people are aware of the dangers and loss potential.


Think about the frequency with which hurricanes happen. Everyone knows the damage they cause. And hurricanes can be predicted in advance so people have time to prepare. But even them, huge damage and loss of life happens. In the case of an earthquake, there is no warning. And they are not annual occurrences that people are used to. But a major quake can result in devastation far worse than a hurricane can cause. Hopefully, it will be many years before a major quake strikes California and the science of earthquake prediction will have advanced in that time. But it could happen tomorrow. If you are among the 9 out of 10 homeowners who do not have earthquake insurance, it is time you did something about it.
