CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE AUTHORITY

No matter where you live in California, there is a risk of considerable damage due to an earthquake. Here is what you need to know before during and after the rumbling.

Homeowner’s and renter’s insurance policies do not cover earthquake damage. Yet very few Californians pay to cover their homes and belongings.

Is your home earthquake ready? If it’s not, there’s a way to get it ready. The California Earthquake Authority wants to help homeowners prepare for the “big one” and save money at the same time.

Registration opened Tuesday for homeowners interested in receiving seismic retrofit grants, which are available to homeowners in select zip codes in some San Francisco Bay Area cities, according to officials with the state’s Department of Insurance.
