Residential Earthquake
Product Info
Arrowhead’s Residential Earthquake insurance program is designed to provide better earthquake insurance options for California, Oregon and Washington home and condominium owners. After the 1994 Northridge earthquake, insurance companies greatly restricted the types of policies they are willing to offer and, in many cases, raised the premiums too. This created a void in the marketplace for reasonably priced, high quality insurance products.
The Arrowhead Residential Earthquake Insurance program delivers insurance products with broader coverages, higher limits and lower deductibles. The rates are competitive depending on the location of the risk and age of the dwelling.
