Share: Like many Southern California homeowners, David Beilfuss thinks about the next big earthquake and wants to make sure his house will survive. Like many people in California I m house-rich and cash-poor and I have to protect the biggest investment that I have, says Beilfuss.
He protected his house by retrofitting the foundation, bolting it down.
But in case of a catastrophic event he also has earthquake insurance. Bolting the home made that insurance more affordable. Earthquake insurance went down considerably because they know the risk is much less, he says.
