Episode 4: How Can You Prepare for Earthquakes That Seem Unlikely?

Earthquakes in South Carolina? Yep, more common than you think. In this episode, Gavin Jackson shakes things up with guests Scott Howard and Kamry Bell as they dig into one surprising question: How do you prepare for earthquakes that seem unlikely… but aren’t? South Carolina records 10–20 quakes a year, and the Lowcountry sits on real fault lines. Yet most homeowners don’t carry earthquake insurance—and standard policies won’t cover the damage when the ground starts moving. This episode breaks down the risks, the myths, and the smart steps you can take now to protect your home and your wallet before the next tremor hits. Short, sharp, and packed with need‑to‑know insights—this one’s worth the listen. For more preparedness tips and mitigation resources, visit doi.sc.gov/safehome.
