What is Earthquake Insurance?
Earthquake insurance is a type of property insurance that provides coverage to the policyholder in the event of earthquake-induced damage to their property.
Standard homeowners insurance policies typically do not include coverage for earthquake-related losses.
The cost of earthquake insurance is often determined by factors such as location and the likelihood of an earthquake occurrence. Policies usually come with a high deductible, making them more beneficial in cases of total home destruction rather than partial damage. Rates may be more affordable for homes constructed with wood, which tends to better withstand earthquakes compared to brick structures.
