It Can Happen To You
During the Loma Preita earthquake which struck
the San Francisco bay area on October 17, 1989,
more than nine billion dollars in damage
occurred. Four billion was from property damage,
while business interruption damage caused 5
billion in damage. Much of the damage occurred in
areas populated by small businesses. Even those
which didn't suffer extreme physical damage were
closed while officials conducted safety
inspections. Many business owners were not
allowed in to retrieve paperwork, equipment or
anything for several days.
