Shawnee County, Kan., commissioners have authorized the county’s insurance broker to look into the cost of earthquake insurance.
The topic came up at a recent commission briefing on new quotes for property, automobile and excess workers’ compensation insurance coverage.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that an official with the county’s insurance broker noted that homes in Topeka were rattled in November by an earthquake and several aftershocks in Oklahoma. The official said earthquake insurance is fairly inexpensive.
Commission members said there’s no harm in at least getting proposals for the coverage.
