What Does Earthquake Insurance Cover?
The basic earthquake insurance in California typically includes the following aspects:
Dwelling Coverage
This part covers damages within your home, up to a certain limit. It doesn't cover exterior aspects of your property, such as fences, masonry, landscaping, pools, and separate buildings.
Personal Property Coverage
This coverage pays for damaged material belongings inside your home. These objects may include furniture, television sets, and computers. Fragile objects, such as fine china or crystals, are only covered if you have the optional breakables coverage.
Additional Living Expenses (ALE) or Loss of Use
If you have to live in another location while your area is evacuated or your home is repaired, the ALE covers temporary and extra costs for living somewhere else. Expenses include the temporary rental of a home, apartment, or hotel room, restaurant meals, a temporary telephone line, moving and storage, furniture rental, and laundry bills.
What Doesn't Earthquake Insurance Cover?
The following items are excluded from earthquake insurance coverage within California:
Fire damages as a result of an earthquake
