Timing of supply and demand
Economic Demand Surge: The increase in the cost of building materials and labor to rebuild the Dwelling Building and/or Other Structures due to an increase in demand in the event of a covered loss.
13 Earthquake Insurance

14 Earthquake Insurance What is an Earthquake? “A sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.”
15 • Volcanic: Magma movement within and eruptions from presently active volcanoes in Hawaii (Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai, Haleakala and Lo’ihi)
16 • Tectonic: Earthquakes involving slippage along tectonic faults.
• Minor to moderate earthquakes occur on upper crustal faults beneath and within volcanoes.
• Large Flank earthquakes occur along the decollement fault which separates the ancient oceanic crust and the overlying volcanoes.
17 • Mantle: Flexing or bending of the earths crust and upper mantle, known as the lithosphere, due to the weight of the islands above.
18 Earthquakes in Hawaii:
• Thousands of earthquakes occur every year in the State of Hawaii.
• Most are so small that they can only be detected by sensitive instruments, known as seismometers.
• Some are strong enough to be felt on one or more of the islands. A few earthquakes are large enough to cause significant damage and impact residents across the State.
• Since 1868, more than 30 magnitude of 6.0 or greater earthquakes have rattled the islands
19 • In 2006 , Hawaii was struck with a magnitude of 6.7
• It produced several aftershocks, including one that measured a magnitude of 6.1 seven minutes after the main shock.
• The most severe damage caused by the earthquake was focused on the north and western sides of the island of Hawaii. Damage was also quite heavy on the eastern side of Maui, and minor damage spread all the way out to western Oahu, 170 miles away from the earthquake's epicenter.
• On the Big Island, many houses had large cracks and broken windows, and at least 61 buildings were destroyed and red-tagged by officials. Almost all houses in west Hawaii reported extensive internal damage but most avoided significant structural damage, the reason being that most of the buildings in the area around the epicenter of the earthquake have been built in the last few decades and are well constructed. Even so, over $200 million in damage occurred.
20 Do I need earthquake insurance?
• The probability of a destructive magnitude-6.5 or higher earthquake striking the Hawaiian islands: …
• in the next 10 years is 50%. …
• in the next 20 years is 75%. …
• in the next 50 years is 97%.
Source: USGS Bulletin 2006 (http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/b2006)
So… It’s not IF a destructive earthquake will strike Hawaii, but WHEN the next one will happen
21 Earthquake Insurance
• Good option to consider for Big Island clients.
• It does not cover any residual effect like tsunami or volcanic eruption.
22 • Earthquake Insurance covers damage caused by the specific event of earth movement.
• We have a couple of options for earthquake coverage. A stand-alone policy, with a starting premium of $1,000 • or by endorsement with ICat Hurricane coverage, which is a much more favorable premium. ➢ Matches limits from companion Hurricane policy ➢ % Deductible ➢ Paid as an Annual Aggregate

24 Flood Insurance
Corina Hill Personal Lines Senior Sales Account Manager Email: [email protected]
25 Flood Insurance Definition of Flood: a. A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more neighboring properties (at least one of which is your property) from:
(1) Overflow of inland or tidal waters;
(2) Unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source; or
(3) “Mudflow”; or b. Collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or similar body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels that result in a “flood” as defined in a.(1) above.
26 Flood Insurance- Flood zones and their definition
The most hazardous flood zones are V (usually first-row, beach-front properties) and A (usually, but not always, properties near water)
V Zones • According to FEMA and the NFIP, any building located in an A or V zone is considered to be in a Special Flood Hazard Area, and is lower than the base flood elevation. V zones are the most hazardous of the Special Flood Hazard Areas. V zones generally include the first row of beachfront properties. The hazards in these areas are increased because of wave velocity - hence the V designation. A Zones • A zones - the next most volatile of the Special Flood Hazard Areas - are subject to rising waters and are usually near a lake, river, stream or other body of water. A-zone maps also include AE, AH, AO, AR and A99 designations, all having the same rates. The different A zones are named depending on the way in which they might be flooded Other Zones
• X zones are minimal-risk areas where flood insurance is not mandatory.
• D zones are areas that have not been studied, but where flooding is possible.

28 Flood Insurance
How much damage can 1 inch of flooding cause (on average) to a home? Per FEMA, $27,000 80% of claims filed with FEMA are from X zone properties
A new, nationwide flood modeling tool is now available. Research combined existing flood models of sea-level rise and river flooding with simulations of extreme weather events and peer-reviewed projections into a single nationwide flood assessment model
This new combined model estimates that over 14 million homes and other buildings throughout the country face a 1 percent annual risk of flooding, about 1 in 10 such real property parcels countrywide.
This figure is projected to grow during the next 20 years.
In contrast, only 8.7 million properties are identified as high- risk properties in the FEMA flood maps.
This new model reinforces what we have known all along— far too many homes across this country perilously lack flood insurance

Corina Hill Personal Lines Senior Sales Account Manager Email: [email protected] 32 Kaua’i Flood Map Changes 2020
• FEMA has determined the Waimea and Hanapepe levees on Kaua‘i do not provide a high level of protection and are to be de- accredited. New preliminary flood maps, effective in 2020 show areas behind the Waimea and Hanapepe levees to be in a high- risk flood zone
• A property’s flood risk may change and consequently so will the requirement for federally mandated flood insurance, as well as construction standards.
• Approximately 400 parcels in Moloaa, Waimea and Hanapepe are having a new, high-risk flood zone designation where these homeowners with a mortgage will be required to buy flood insurance when the revised flood maps become effective which is currently planned for the end of 2020.
• Property owners can view the preliminary/proposed maps for Waimea and Hanapepe online on Hawaii’s Flood Hazard Assessment Tool (http://gis.hawaiinfip.org/fhat)
