Earthquake Insurance – Protect Your Home When the Earth Shakes

earthquake insurance snohomish, waDid you know that almost the entire United States is prone to earthquakes? The West Coast of the U.S. is especially prone with nearly a 70% chance likelihood of a 6.7 earthquake or larger. The East, a 40-60% chance and the Midwest has a 40%+ chance! Consider an earthquake Insurance policy from Nutu Insurance.

Earthquake insurance is a form of property insurance that pays the policyholder in the event of an earthquake that causes damage to the property. The typical homeowner’s insurance policy does not cover earthquake loss.

Most earthquake insurance policies feature a high deductible, such as 15%+ of the value of  the total insured value of the home, which makes this type of insurance useful if the entire home is destroyed, but not useful if the home is merely damaged. Rats for earthquake insurance vary greatly based off of earthquake maps. Rates can also vary greatly depending what your home is made out of. Wood homes withstand earthquakes better than homes made of brick.
