Recent Oregon and Indonesia earthquakes remind Washingtonians of experts saying how the Pacific Northwest is past due for a major quake. Mosaic Insurance in Lynnwood can help you get coverage.
Lynnwood, United States - March 29, 2021 /PressCable/ —
Lynnwood, Washington: Many in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) remember the big Nisqually earthquake that happened on February 28, 2001. Olympia, Marysville, Seattle, Snohomish, Everett, and Tacoma are just some of the cities in the southern end of Puget Sound that felt the earthquake that day and experienced damages.
Nisqually is the last largest earthquake that the Washington area has faced, and being 20 years ago, experts say that the area is way past due for another big one. According to King 5 News, with a magnitude of 6.8, the Nisqually earthquake that lasted almost 1 straight minute was deemed as a strong quake (magnitude of 6.3 and above) that caused at least 2 billion in damages and injured more than 400 people.
“The Big One” that Washington (and the rest of the PNW) is due for has been mentioned here and there each year for the last decade or so by various experts. The buzz has recently heightened again with new frequent quakes in Indonesia and ones closer to home in places like Oregon. On December 28, 2020, a 5.7 magnitude earthquake happened less than 200 miles off the coast of Oregon. According to Oregon news station, KGW, that earthquake was the eighth largest one reported off the Oregon coast in the last decade.
Indonesia recently experienced a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in January 2021 that killed at least 42 people. While Indonesia is far from the United States, the recent earthquake struggles that they have been through are not going unnoticed by Americans. “The Big One” seems to be coming to mind more often since 2021 has started.
In addition to having basic earthquake knowledge and safety protocol for before, during, and after an earthquake, the public can protect against possible earthquakes by getting earthquake insurance to help protect homes, businesses, and other assets from expensive damages and losses. Earthquake loss can really make or break a business, as well as destroy a lifetime of family savings as people recover from damages to buildings, homes, cars, etc. With the economy already hurting due to COVID-19, the likelihood of bankruptcy increases significantly if a big earthquake were to occur sometime soon. The last thing the public wants is to wish is that they had insurance before a major natural disaster like an earthquake.
