What earthquake insurance can cover

Earthquake policies can include dwelling, personal property, loss of use, building code upgrade, and condominium loss assessment depending on the policy form.

Dwelling

Dwelling

Dwelling coverage responds to covered earthquake damage to the home, subject to the selected deductible, limit, policy form, and exclusions.

Personal property and loss of use

Personal property and loss of use

Contents and additional living expense can be important when the home is damaged or temporarily uninhabitable. Loss of use can be especially valuable after a major regional event.

Building code upgrade

Building code upgrade

When repairs must meet current building codes, an upgrade limit can help close the gap between repair cost and covered earthquake damage.
