Earthquake intensity determines payment

We’re powered by USGS Data, the leading authority on seismic reporting.

Your eligibility to receive payment is determined by the quake intensity at your insured location, as measured by the The United States Geological Survey—a scientific agency of the United States government.

Specifically, when peak ground velocity reaches a defined threshold in your neighborhood, you’re eligible to receive payment. That threshold is 20cm per second or more in Washington and Oregon, and 30cm per second or more in California.

It’s 3rd party data. It’s objective. It’s transparent. And it allows us to make the payout process as simple and fair as possible.

If an earthquake hits in our area, I want to be able to know without any question that those first few days are handled, and my kids never feel afraid.

If there's an earthquake, you know there's going to be cash in your bank.
