What to Do After an Earthquake

During an earthquake, buildings may become unstable, collapse or slide off their foundations. Aftershocks may cause additional damage to weakened buildings, power lines and bridges. It’s dangerous out there. If you’ve just been through an earthquake, please be careful. Take the appropriate precautions by following these tips:

1. Be Safe

Make Personal Safety Your First Priority
  • Be prepared for aftershocks.
  • Stay out of damaged buildings.
  • Watch out for broken glass, sharp objects and exposed electrical wires.
  • Listen to the local radio for up-to-date information.
  • Stay out of your home if it is severely damaged.
  • Don't go back inside your home until local authorities say it’s safe for you to do so.
Check for Damage
  • Check gas, electric and sewage systems, and your chimney.
  • If gas is leaking, turn it off at the main shut-off valve, leave the building immediately and call a professional for service.
Drive with Extreme Caution
  • Watch out for downed power lines and debris.
  • Be aware that bridges and roads may be weakened and damaged.

2. Call Us

800-332-3226

When it’s safe to do so, call us as soon as you can.
Be ready to provide the following information:
  • Where is the damaged property?
  • How extensive is the damage?
  • Are temporary repairs needed?
  • If the authorities were contacted, which department responded and what is the report number?
  • Your current contact information and the best time to reach you?
Be prepared to provide as much detail as possible about damage caused by the earthquake. If possible, take photographs and videos of your damaged property and belongings. They can help expedite the claims process. Serial numbers, owner’s manuals and credit card statements can also be used to help document personal belongings that may have been damaged, lost or stolen.
We will do our best to contact you within 72 hours after you file your claim to discuss what happens next. If you experienced serious earthquake damage, we will make every effort to get to you as soon as possible.

3. Prevent Further Damage

Protect Your Home
It’s important to take some steps to protect yourself and your home from further damage after an earthquake.
  • Clean up broken glass and remove debris.
  • Board up broken windows and doors.
  • Cover any roof damage with tarps or plywood.
  • If possible, put damaged items in a safe, secure area where they can be inspected later.
  • Save all receipts from any temporary repairs.

4. Repair Your Home

Please wait until a claims adjustor assesses the earthquake damage to your home before starting permanent repairs. However, contractors can be difficult to schedule after an earthquake, so we encourage you to schedule permanent repairs as soon as possible. Find a local, licensed, bonded and insured contractor through our freeSafeco Contractor Referral service.
Temporary Housing
While Your Home is Being Repaired or Rebuilt
If you are unable to live in your home while the damage is assessed and your home is being repaired or rebuilt, Safeco will help pay for additional living expenses, typically for up to 24 months. If repairs take longer than the period of time covered in your policy, you may be eligible for additional assistance from federal emergency programs.
Home ImprovementsTo Upgrade or Not to Upgrade
Safeco will replace damaged items and materials with the same type and quality of materials you had before the earthquake. For example, if you had a fiberglass roof, we will pay to repair or replace the damaged area with fiberglass, but we won’t pay to replace it with more expensive slate tile. If you decide to upgrade your house with better or more expensive materials, you’re welcome to do so, but you’ll need to pay the additional expense out of your own pocket.
Any time you make improvements to your property, be sure to talk to your local Safeco agent to find out if your coverage is still enough, and if you’re eligible for any discounts.

What to Do After a Hurricane

Severe winds from a hurricane can down electric lines, telephone poles and trees. Heavy rain can cause water damage and flooding. If a hurricane has been through your town or neighborhood, be careful. Take some precautions by following these tips:

1. Be Safe

Make Personal Safety Your First Priority
  • Watch out for snakes and animals that may have taken refuge in your home.
  • Don’t run a generator or barbecue grill indoors. Hazardous fumes and carbon monoxide poisoning can be deadly.
  • Don’t leave candles or a fireplace unattended, and keep the area well ventilated.
  • Watch out for broken glass, sharp objects and exposed electrical wires.
  • Listen to the local radio for up-to-date information.
  • If you were evacuated, don’t return home until local authorities say it’s safe for you to do so.
Check for Damage
  • Check gas, electric and sewage systems, and your chimney.
  • If gas is leaking, turn it off at the main shut-off valve, leave the building immediately, and call a professional for service.
  • Stay out of your home if it is severely damaged.
Drive with Extreme Caution
  • Watch out for downed trees, power lines and debris.
  • Be aware that bridges and roads may be weakened or washed out.

We will do our best to contact you within 72 hours after you file your claim to discuss what happens next. If you experienced serious hurricane damage, we will make every effort to get to you first.

3. Prevent Further Damage

Safeguard Your Home and Car
Water is a major cause of damage after hurricanes. The longer your house is exposed to water, the more damage you’ll see to your roof, ceiling, walls and floors, as well as any personal belongings inside. After the storm has passed, it’s important to dry out any water damaged inside your home. Open windows and doors to allow air to circulate and speed up the drying process.
Hurricane Damage to Your Home
  • Clean up any broken glass and remove debris.
  • Board up broken windows and doors.
  • Cover roof damage with tarps or plywood.
  • Move wet items to drier ground.

Driving For The Fun Of It

Everything you need to know when it comes to insuring your recreational vehicles. Info from The Hartford.

The Hartford

RECREATIONAL VEHICLES

Driving for the Fun of It

Antique Car Coverage

Antique Cars Get Great Benefits

If you have an antique auto, The Hartford offers antique car insurance specifically geared to the needs of car owners like you.
One of the questions we field most often for this “old-car insurance” category is, “How do you define an antique auto?” An antique auto is generally 25 or more years old and is maintained primarily for use in parades, exhibitions, club activities, and other functions of public interest.

Save on Antique Car Insurance

Antique autos are eligible for many of the same discounts as "everyday" vehicles. For example, you may be eligible for discounts if you have an anti-theft device in your antique car, if you take an approved Defensive Driver Course, or if bundle your antique car insurance with homeowners insurance.
Availability of discounts and credits may vary by state or policy plan.

Antique Auto Insurance Coverage

In most states, the amount of coverage provided for an antique auto is determined using "stated amount" - an amount that you and The Hartford agree on as the maximum value for the vehicle. In the event of a loss, a claim adjuster will determine the current value of the antique auto, which cannot be more than the "stated amount" listed on the policy.
In some states, The Hartford is introducing antique auto coverage based on "agreed value." This is the amount of coverage that you and The Hartford agree on as the value for the car, based on a recent, certified appraisal. The following coverages are available for antique autos (varies by state):
  • Bodily Injury Liability
  • Property Damage Liability
  • Physical Damage to your auto (mandatory for antique autos)
For an additional premium, you may be able to add the following optional coverages (varies by state):
  • Towing and Labor
  • Extended Transportation
  • Full Glass

Antique Auto Insurance Features

Several of the features and benefits that give our auto insurance policyholders so much peace of mind also apply to antique car insurance from The Hartford.

24/7 Roadside Assistance

When you’re stranded, you want to call someone you can trust. Now you can call RESCUE 1-800, our emergency roadside service for The Hartford’s auto policyholders. Whether it’s to add gas to your tank, fix your flat tire or unlock a door, we will immediately send qualified service to assist you – whenever and wherever you need it.**

No Drop Promise

Once you become a policyholder, all you have to do is meet a few common-sense requirements like maintaining a valid driver’s license and you’re assured continued coverage for your car, regardless of your driving record.†

24/7 Hassle Free Claim Service

When you have a claim, it’s good to know that your insurance company has the experience and know-how to make the claims process as smooth as possible.
