"San Andreas" Movie Spurs Interest In Earthquake Insurance

For people who live in California, the ever looming threat of the “Big One” is not something new, but the popularity of the “San Andreas” movie has spurred an interest in earthquake insurance and other preparedness steps and products.The release of the “San Andreas” movie occurred shortly after the release of a US Geological Survey report that indicated that it is a near certainty that a quake of a magnitude of at least 7.8 would occur between now and 2030. With the blockbuster and the headline news occurring at nearly the same time, there has been a boost in the number of people who are looking into preparedness efforts in California.
