There were just a few sentences in this article/blog post about landslide insurance. Most geoprofessionals realize that home-owners insurance does not cover landslides, floods or most other geologic hazards. But what I found interesting in this article was a quote from an insurance agent that gave a rough estimate of the cost of “very rare” landslide insurance. He gave an estimate of $1,000 per year for a $300,000 house. I’m sure it depends on lots of factors, but at least that could get you in the ballpark. [Source: Central Illinois Proud.
