SEATTLE, Wash. – Don't wait for the next quake to shake your confidence. Protect your home and peace of mind with earthquake insurance.

This Thursday, October 17th at exactly 10:17am, is the “Great Shakeout Earthquake Drill.” People around the country are encouraged to register for the event and practice how to Drop, Cover, and Hold.

The purpose of the event is to help families, schools, and workplaces practice what to do when an earthquake strikes. It’s also meant to help you recover quickly from damage and destruction by providing resources and emergency information.

As you think about your family’s safety, Insurance Services Group is thinking about your biggest asset – your home. Earthquakes can strike without warning, leaving devastation in their wake. While we can't predict when or where the next one will hit, we can take steps to protect our homes and finances. Many homeowners mistakenly assume their standard Homeowners insurance policy covers earthquake damage, but that’s not necessarily the case. In fact, only 11.3% of homeowners in Washington hold some kind of earthquake protection for their home, according to Washington's Office of the Insurance Commissioner. If you aren’t part of that 11%, then you may not be covered. But it’s not too late to do something about it and our team can help.

We have access to the very best earthquake insurance programs available in the industry. The policies are superior to anything we’ve been able to offer in the past with low deductibles and amazing rates. As you prepare your earthquake plan for your family let us provide peace of mind knowing you have protection in place for your home when the big one strikes.

Let us help you get prepared.
