| Also put on Standby for large commercial work today.
Coverage is the main concern. Unlike Iniki, where there was coverage, and many adjusters were never paid, perhaps this will be different.
All depends on the fee schedule, time constraints and commitments, will have to see what happens. | | | |

| | Shovel snow or go to Hawaii? For me, even with the high expenses, it's a no-brainer! I just do not think there will be enough claims to put a lot of us to work. I believe only about 10% actually have coverage for earthquake. There will be claims for other perils, such as water damage on the HO or CP, but will there be enough? | | | |

| From what I have read, there appears to be no earthquake insurance available in Hawaii. There doesn’t even appear to be a governmental program similar to Citizens in Florida. Does anyone know if earthquake insurance is available in Hawaii? | | | |

| | Matthew, I did not mean to indicate that the claims would be hard to settle, I just believe the logistics would make it little tough as it relates to lodging and transportation and other items we may need for the job that we could not take with us. On my trip this year I would say the worst part was the 10-12 hour flight there and back. | |

| Robert, Re-Read posts #1 and #4. That's kind of why this thread was started. Roy already informed us all. I've been informed by my IA that subsequent water damage is covered. Although no EQ policies to speak of, there have been tremendous storms down that could have caused water damage after the quake did its damage. Still waiting to hear. In the meantime, Houston is flooding..... | |

| What does it take qualification and experience to work an earthquake? I have about two years cat and daily work behind me.
Do you have to have earthquake certification or just be on the right roster? | | | |

Greg, Takes Both........ In Hawaii, I dont know of any carrier who actually writes earthquake, except however possibly commercial. thats why I didtnt hold my breath on being on standby.

| Official word. Stand down for Hawaii. Not enough covered damages.
Floods in Houston are also pretty much a non-event, although it has generated a few claims. Put off getting cold in Buiffalo for a few more days.
