18. Juanita Jiminez thought she had found the perfect location for her new restaurant and catering business. She had found a restaurant for sale on a small bluff overlooking the river; the restaurant had a large tree-lined patio, so Juanita would be able to attract customers interested in outdoor dining. Juanita decided to talk to a former owner of the restaurant to get more information. The former owner told Juanita that his restaurant had flourished until two years ago, when the river flooded and caused extensive water damage. While he had made all of the necessary repairs to the restaurant, he was never able to recover financially, so he eventually went out of business. This concerned Juanita, and she wondered if her ideal spot was really ideal. In addition, the former owner informed Juanita that the city was located on a “fault” line and at the edge of “tornado” alley. What type of insurance should Juanita carry?
