While earthquake insurance is recommended in California, it is not mandatory for mortgage holders. However, your agent must offer it to you at least every other year to make sure that you know such insurance is available and its cost. California insurance law requires that you have a homeowner’s insurance policy before you can purchase earthquake insurance. In addition, you must purchase both policies from the same insurance company. Most earthquake insurance policies in California are underwritten by the California Earthquake Authority (CEA.)
There are three parts to an average California earthquake policy. These are coverage for your dwelling, coverage for your personal property and coverage for the cost of temporary housing and additional living expenses while your home is being repaired.

Like earthquake insurance, California flood insurance is an additional policy that goes with your homeowner's policy. This type of insurance covers losses due to overflows of tidal and inland waterways, excess runoff and mudslides. In most cases, there is a waiting period of 30 days between the purchase of such a policy and the commencement of coverage.
