CA Dept. of Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones: “The natural disasters of 2017 remind us of the need to be prepared for the major earthquakes that are inevitable in California… Californians can protect their families by strengthening older homes, which are particularly vulnerable to earthquake damage, and by making sure they have the financial strength to rebuild with earthquake insurance.”
Homes with qualifying retrofits are eligible for discounts of up to 20 percent on CEA earthquake insurance premiums.
Bolt the house to the foundation, brace the area above the foundation, and bolt the main floor to reduce the risk of earthquake damage to your home. Brace unreinforced chimneys, masonry, and concrete walls for additional safety.
