Remember, Missouri hasn't had any since 1811/1812 so they are still writing policies. So you're due for one.

Carolyn, the company can stop writing/offering earthquake insurance and withdraw completely from the earthquake insurance business. When I lived in Southern California, this is what happened to me with an earthquake policy I had had for several years--and there had been no recent earthquakes. I subsequently went with another insurance company for earthquake coverage, but it was much more expensive and with an even higher deductible. A few years later, a whole spate of major and semi-major quakes hit Southern California, including the Whittier, the Pomona-Ontario, the Landers, the Northridge, etc. By then, I had, fortuitously, moved away to Northern California. - Holly
