Why Do I need to Take Earthquake Training?
The California Department of Insurance has adopted regulations governing the required training for earthquake certification for adjusters. This training covers evaluating the damage caused by earthquakes and fair claims handling. These regulations can be found in the California Code of Regulations, Title 10, Chapter 5, Sub-chapter 7.5.1. In a nutshell, YOU MUST BE EARTHQUAKE AND FAIR CLAIMS CERTIFIED TO ADJUST EARTHQUAKE CLAIMS IN CALIFORNIA.
The California Earthquake Authority (issuers of almost 70% of all California earthquake policies) requires earthquake certification for adjusters under the above regulations AND, in addition, to take CEA-specific training in order to adjust CEA policy claims. Make sure you qualify to offer California earthquake insurance.
