ASA Insurance Offers the Best Price on Earthquake Insurance in Utah

The majority of Utah residents live adjacent to the most active segments of the 220 mile long Wasatch fault, which in Utah extends from Brigham City to Nephi. According to the University of Utah, it is possible for a large earthquake of the magnitude 6.5 to 7.5 to occur on several segments of the Wasatch and along several other faults that transgress the state. Such events have occurred in Utah over the course of the last 6,000 years, generally at the rate of once every 400 years. According to these historical statistics, the chance of a large earthquake occurring in Utah during the next 50 years is 1 in 4. Incredibly, Utah experiences on average around 700 earthquakes per year, though 98% are too small to be felt.
