California Earthquake Insurance for Mobile Home Owners

Mobile homes can be particularly vulnerable to earthquakes due to their lack of foundations and relatively unstable structure. Whether you own your mobile home outright or have a mortgage, taking out California earthquake insurance is a good way to protect your investment. In addition to making sure you have adequate insurance coverage, creating a disaster plan should an earthquake strike may help you to reduce the damage a sizeable natural event could do to your home.

A disaster plan should include the following:

• Practice emergency drills and make sure all family members know what to do in the event of a quake
• Ensure there are alternative exits from the building should the door become blocked with rubble
• Make sure everyone knows where emergency supplies are located and where the switches are to turn off the gas, electricity and water supplies if necessary
• Create an emergency kit with first aid supplies, food, water and anything else that might be necessary

Earthquakes have been particularly frequent in California in the past few years so being prepared and making sure you have California earthquake insurance coverage could help you survive and rebuild in the event of a major disaster.
