This morning marks the 2013 Great BC Shakeout. BC is one of many North American jurisdictions that take time out to remind people how to safely protect themselves in an earthquake. At 10:17 a.m., participate in the Great BC Shakeout by practicing how to “Drop, Cover and Hold On” in your home, workplace or classroom.
After you complete the drill and climb out from under your desk consider this: with the risk of earthquakes running high in BC, earthquake insurance is an important and evolving aspect of homeowner’s insurance in BC. Are you able to answer your clients’ concerns and do you know how to best meet their homeowners insurance policy needs?
