4. Additional coverage: In many cases, standard homeowners insurance does not cover earthquake damage. Therefore, an earthquake insurance is an additional coverage that you can add to your homeowner's insurance policy to be fully protected.

In summary, earthquake home insurance is essential in high seismic risk areas to protect your investment and provide financial security in case of natural disasters.
