Will homeowners Insurance cover a natural disaster of the sort? Unfortunately, a standardized version of homeowners insurance does not offer an earthquake coverage plan. In order to get financial security for an earthquake related accident one must have a subscription to a company that offers such coverage. Here a few things one should be aware of about Earthquake insurance: Earthquake insurance: Six things you need to know. (1-4) 1. Unlike homeowners insurance, you can't choose your deductible.With earthquake coverage, your deductible is based on a percentage of your overall policy limit. 2. With earthquake coverage, contents are typically covered only to a set dollar amount, such as $5,000. To some degree, that's logical -- your sofas and beds are unlikely to be destroyed in a quake, as they are in a fire. 3. The typical quake policy does not cover the loss of landscaping, pools, fences, and separate structures (including garages) -- and is likely to exclude claims for broken chandeliers, crystal and china. 4. Typically insurers limit this coverage to 20% of the dwelling limits or base it on a set amount of time, such as 12 to 24 months following the disaster. Loss-of-use limits in quake coverage are far more restrictive. Usually, the loss of use coverage is set at a dollar amount that can be as low as $1,500. 5. Uncovered losses don't count toward the deductible 6. In areas like Virginia and the Midwest, where quakes are rare, you can get coverage for as little as 50 cents per $1,000 in coverage, or roughly $250 annually for $500,000 in coverage. But the cost soars on the West Coast where it can cost $15 per $1,000 in coverage, or roughly $7,500 for a $500,000 policy.
