Earthquake insurance cover is a specialized type of policy designed to protect homeowners and businesses from the financial impacts of earthquake damage. Unlike standard homeowners or commercial property insurance, which often excludes earthquake-related damages, this coverage specifically addresses repairs and replacement costs resulting from seismic events.
The policy typically includes coverage for structural damage to buildings, loss of personal property, and additional living expenses if the property becomes uninhabitable. It may also cover business interruptions for commercial properties. Earthquake insurance is essential in regions prone to seismic activity, offering peace of mind and financial protection against the unpredictable nature of earthquakes. Coverage limits, deductibles, and policy terms vary, so it’s crucial to review options carefully to ensure adequate protection tailored to individual needs and risk levels.
