COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – Most people in the twin states don’t have earthquake insurance but agents say it’s something to consider. Galloway, Chandler, McKinney in Columbus offers the option to policy holders. It’s one way to be prepared for one of the most unexpected natural disasters.

“Earthquake coverage is usually pretty simple, especially in this area, because it’s not an earthquake prevalent zone. Most carriers don’t see the Golden Triangle as being in sufficient risk for earthquakes, although we’ve had some recent activity in areas surrounding us. So it’s pretty easy to obtain, just comes with a small cost and a higher deductible.”

The average homeowner pays about $50.00 – $150.00 a year to add earthquake coverage.
