Geologic Hazards

The shaking your insured's house experiences depends on how far it is from the fault and the soil under and around it.

An earthquake can push and pull the ground, tearing the surface and pushing the ground apart and upward. These are known as “surface ruptures.”

Earthquakes often trigger landslides, causing significant and even catastrophic damage to houses.

Earthquake motion can turn loosely packed, water-saturated soil to liquid—"liquefaction.”
