Company Profile

Company Overview

In 1996, the California Legislature went one step further and created the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) – a publicly managed, privately funded entity. Residential property insurers could offer their own earthquake insurance or become a CEA participating insurance company.

CEA has worked with many well-known insurance companies for nearly 20 years. Today, about 75 percent of California residential property insurance companies offer CEA earthquake policies. By selling our policies exclusively through these participating insurance companies, CEA has become one of the largest providers of residential earthquake insurance in the world.
