You may ask, is Earthquake insurance really necessary in Auburn? ABSOLUTELY!

After all of the losses that we see in our office caused by natural disasters, we at Resource Insurance Group believe that it is better to be safe than sorry. Calamities are unpredictable and you don’t want to be caught unprepared in case an earthquake hits close to home. Having proper insurance in such a situation could be the difference between despair and hope for many families. Make sure that your family will be taken care of, no matter what happens.

Disaster preparedness starts with education:

• Make sure that your family and children know where an earthquake. At the very least, teach your family the “Duck and Cover” method – hide under a sturdy, heavy piece of furniture.
• Be patient and wait in your hiding place for several minutes after an earthquake, since aftershocks may occur.
• Teach your children that it’s OK to stay at school or daycare, after an earthquake strikes, and that you will pick them up as soon as it’s safe.
• Have one or more disaster kits ready in your home, car, and in a safe place outside your home. To learn what should be included, visit www.fema.gov or www.ready.gov.
• In your home, securely fasten shelves and furniture to walls, store large or heavy things on lower shelves, and learn how to turn off gas and water lines if necessary. (To turn your gas line back on, you need to contact the responsible authorities.)
• Keep in mind that a standard homeowner’s policy does NOT cover any damage caused by an Earthquake. If you would like to insure your home for earthquake damage, we can help! We offer unique stand‐alone earthquake insurance coverage that supplements your homeowner's insurance policy.
