Covered losses from the recent earthquake that hit the Napa Valley are expected to be under $1 billion since less than 6% of the residents carried earthquake insurance. The area has seen close to 70 aftershocks since Sunday.
“The area most affected is downtown Napa – a historic town with many older brick buildings that are uncommon in California,” said Steve Starr, general manager of BELFOR Property Restoration's San Francisco office. “Damage from the earthquake also included the façades coming off of buildings, masonry and drywall issues, as well as broken sprinkler lines, dropped ceilings and debris.”
