Does Mobilehome Insurance Cover Earthquakes?
Your Mobilehome Policy Doesn’t Cover Earthquake Damage
In most cases, damage to your home from an earthquake is not covered by a homeowners insurance policy. In California, a separate policy is needed to protect your home investment and recover from the effects of a major earthquake. Prepare today with CEA earthquake homeowners insurance.
Home (dwelling)
CEA’s earthquake insurance dwelling coverage can be purchased alone or bundled with other coverages. Policy coverage includes earthquake damage to your mobilehome or manufactured home and certain structures attached to it, such as an attached garage. Deductibles available are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, or 25%. Mobilehomes with a Coverage A limit over $1 million can only select deductibles of 15%, 20%, or 25%.

Loss of Use
You may need temporary housing while your home is being repaired or if a civil authority keeps you out of the area due to earthquake damage. Loss of Use covers the additional cost of living elsewhere, while you may still be paying your mortgage. It also covers additional items, including food, moving, and storage expenses. This CEA coverage never has a deductible.

Building Code Upgrade
Older mobile homes that are damaged by a major earthquake may need upgraded components such as plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems to pass local and state building inspections. Rebuilding after a devastating earthquake generally must be done to current building-code standards. A $10,000 building code upgrade coverage is included with every CEA mobilehome policy. For more help with added costs choose available Building Code upgrade coverage with even higher limits.

Emergency Repairs
Emergency and necessary repairs may be needed after an earthquake to help protect your home from additional damage following earthquakes, rain or similar damage due to earthquake damage, or an aftershock. This could include labor and materials needed to board up damaged windows. The first $1,500 has no deductible.
