A waste of money if you ask me. Like Charlie said, wood frame structures usually don't suffer major damage even in a major earthquake. When I was a kid, we had a 7.2 or 7.6 quake (depending on who you heard it from). Our house had a cracked foundation, but not enough to require repair. The brick chimney on our fireplace fell down off the roof. The major damage as far as buildings was concerned happened to brick homes and multi floor (small town & two floors was the max) brick structures down town. I think some companies offer it because they are required to, so they make the requirements ridiculous.
