Earthquake Insurance
Even if you live in regions that get infrequent earthquakes, it is advisable to have earthquake insurance. It is worth noting that earthquakes have been experienced in 39 states. You need to purchase a separate policy to cover earthquakes because most homes, renters, and condo insurance covers don’t cover earthquake damages.
What is Covered by an Earthquake Insurance Policy?
It offers coverage if an earthquake destroys your house. An earthquake cover typically dismisses losses or damages from tidal waves and floods, even if they result from an earthquake. Nevertheless, your belongings are catered for if destruction occurs due to a mudflow, landslide, settlement, sinking, contracting, or earth rising.
