Learn about insurance coverage options specific to Rialto residents.
California faces elevated wildfire and earthquake risks that drive up insurance costs statewide. Many insurers have reduced coverage in high-risk areas or stopped writing new policies entirely, limiting competition and pushing premiums higher. Additionally, California's regulatory environment and increasing catastrophic claims have contributed to 20-35% rate increases projected through 2026.
Yes, standard homeowners insurance policies don't cover earthquake damage. Given Rialto's 99.53% probability of a major earthquake within 50km over the next 50 years and multiple tremors recorded in 2025, earthquake insurance provides critical protection. You can purchase coverage through the California Earthquake Authority or private insurers, with premiums varying based on your home's age, construction, and retrofitting.
The 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps classify Rialto as very high risk, meaning about 51% of buildings face significant wildfire danger. This designation affects insurance availability and cost—some insurers require wildfire mitigation measures like defensible space and fire-resistant roofing before offering coverage. If you can't find standard coverage, the California FAIR Plan provides basic fire insurance as a last resort.
Earthquake insurance premiums vary widely based on your home's age, construction type, location, and chosen deductible. CEA policies typically cost less than private options but come with 15-25% deductibles based on your home's replacement cost. For a $600,000 home, that could mean a $90,000-$150,000 deductible, so you'll need to balance premium affordability against your ability to cover out-of-pocket costs after a quake.
Yes, many insurers offer premium discounts for wildfire mitigation improvements. Creating defensible space, installing Class A fire-resistant roofing, adding ember-resistant vents, or using fire-resistant landscaping can all qualify for reduced rates. Document all improvements with photos and receipts, and notify your insurer to ensure you receive applicable discounts.
If standard insurers won't cover your property or quotes are unaffordable, contact the California FAIR Plan, which provides basic fire insurance for high-risk properties. You'll likely need to purchase a separate policy for liability and additional coverage beyond fire. Also, complete wildfire mitigation work, shop multiple insurers annually, consider higher deductibles, and work with an independent insurance agent who can access multiple carriers.
