Earthquake insurance

About “Earthquake Insurance”

This covers damage caused by fire, damage, burial, and spillage caused directly or indirectly by an earthquake, eruption, or tsunami.

• Earthquake insurance covers residential buildings and household goods.

• Property insurance does not cover damage caused by a fire due to an earthquake. For earthquake fire coverage, we have a separate insurance called “Earthquake Fire Insurance”.

• Earthquake insurance is a supplementary policy to property insurance, so it is a prerequisite to purchase property insurance. Please take out earthquake insurance together with property insurance. If you already have property insurance, you can take out earthquake insurance even in the middle of the policy period.

• The purpose of earthquake insurance is to contribute to the stabilization of the lives of victims of earthquakes and other disasters, and it consists of government reinsurance of earthquake losses that exceed a certain amount of the earthquake insurance liability assumed by private insurance companies. If you want to receive additional compensation, you can obtain additional special coverage.
