Natural Disasters
Every year, natural disaster result
in billions of dollars in damage and thousands of lives lost.
Although most types of disasters are usually regional, California
is susceptible to the most different kinds of disasters and,
typically, has the greatest number of disasters.
The U.S. Geological Survey predicts
a catastrophic earthquake somewhere in California with the next
three decades. The expected quake would be on the scale of the
1906 earthquake that destroyed San Francisco. To put it another
way, the quake would be 100 times more powerful than the 1994
Northridge earthquake, which has already cost more than $25 billion.
Earthquakes and other natural disaster are a growing problem
for victims and taxpayers who face the burden of paying for relief,
regardless of where they live.
Kennedy Professional Insurance Agency proudly presents this special
Natural Disaster section to provide consumers with valuable disaster
tips to help you before, during and after a catastrophe occurs.
