Earthquake Insurance Basics:

Do I Need Earthquake Insurance—Even If I Don't Live On The West Coast?
Earthquake damage can be very costly, making earthquake insurance a sound investment. And West coast businesses aren't the only ones potentially affected by earthquakes. Seismic activity can be measured in more than half the contiguous United States. You could live in a seismically active geographic area without even knowing it. How can you tell if you're in a hot spot?

The U.S. Geographical Survey website has maps that show areas with the most activity. It's important to gauge your potential hazard level—and to understand that most earthquake insurance policies don't protect you from all damages.

What's Not Covered?
While earthquake insurance can protect you from property damage like collapsed roofs and burst plumping, it typically won't keep your business operational in the event it sustains serious structural damage or loss of equipment. So how do you stay connected to your customers—before they find someone else to connect to? Fortunately, Agility can fill in the gaps left by most earthquake insurance policies. That means your business stays online and running, even in the event of the most devastating earthquakes.

You're provided with emergency space and equipment, including computers, servers, and satellite telephone and internet link-ups—all within 48 hours of an emergency declaration.

Stay Connected With Customers—Before They Connect With Someone Else
If your business is destroyed, insurance will pay to rebuild it. But how do you maintain operations while rebuilding? Most customers won't wait in the interim: they'll take their business elsewhere.

Take the guesswork out of ensuring business continuity in the wake of a disaster. With ReadySuite, continuity and peace of mind can be yours. All for an affordable $275 a month.
