One in ten: those are the odds, most experts say, that an earthquake will hit B.C. in the next 50 years.

 

Apply today for earthquake protection.

Make sure your home is covered.
None of us like to think about our property being damaged, stolen or destroyed, especially our house. That’s why we buy insurance.

But unfortunately, burglars and broken water pipes aren’t the only things you need to worry about as a homeowner in the Lower Mainland.

Facing Facts
Believe it or not, more than 1,200 earthquakes are recorded each year across British Columbia. Most are too small to be felt, but an earthquake capable of causing structural damage occurs somewhere in the province about once every decade.

Then there is the dreaded Big One. According to the geological record, giant megathrust earthquakes occur about once every 500 years. The last one struck the West Coast on January 26, 1700, causing widespread destruction, flooding and a giant tsunami not unlike the one that devastated Indonesia in 2004.

Protecting your investment
For most people, their house is their largest asset and investment. But it’s also much more than that. It’s your home—the place where you’ve dreamed, loved, laughed and maybe even raised a family. Without proper insurance, an earthquake, even a minor one, could put this investment at serious risk—especially if you’re still carrying a mortgage.

At Envision Insurance, we can help. We’d be happy to review your insurance needs with you and show you how you can protect your home through the addition of a special earthquake rider to your insurance policy. The cost of this additional coverage is minimal, often less than a dollar a day.

Don’t put it off!
Unfortunately, no one can predict when an earthquake will happen so don’t delay. Get a quote, or find out more about earthquake insurance. Click here to apply today and we'll follow up by phone at your convenience.
