Earthquake insurance

Are you ready? Check out the map to the right which contains the most problematic areas for potential catastrophic damage.

We are coming up on the Two Hundredth anniversary of the devastating New Madrid earthquake in Jonesboro, AR. For years scientists and doom criers have argued over the "not if, but when" question on a re-occurrence.

Just recently FEMA released a new study on the damage a 7+ earthquake could do to Region 8 and surrounding states.

Supposedly, in the affected 8 state area, over 700 thousand buildings could be damaged. Over 2 million homes or more will be without power.
