Coverage Options for Homeowners

CEA’s earthquake insurance for homeowners allows you to choose between two policies: Standard Homeowners to purchase all of your coverages together under one deductible, or, Homeowners Choice to choose separate deductibles for your dwelling and personal property. With Homeowners Choice, you also may choose to purchase coverage only for your dwelling and decline other coverages.
