The exact cost tends to vary based on a variety of factors, including age, size and location of a home. (If a home is located next to the San Andreas Fault, it'll cost more to insure than a house that is nowhere near a fault.) Use the California Earthquake Authority's \u003ca href=\"http://www.earthquakeauthority.com/cearateform.aspx?id=3&pid=3\">online premium calculator\u003c/a> to get an estimate of what earthquake insurance would cost for you and your family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Various earthquake coverage options are also available -- there isn't a single one-size-fits-all plan. Beginning in 2012, the CEA began offering the homeowners choice policy, which gives insurance holders more flexibility and creates separate deductibles for the structure of the home and personal property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can insure your structure, and you set a deductible – 10 or 15 percent of that coverage amount has to be down before we can pay a claim. And then you can insure all the contents and things that are valuable to you inside that home, and set your own deductible,\" said Glenn Pomeroy, CEO of the California Earthquake Authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How can I assess the earthquake risk of my home?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a host of factors to consider when determining your risk profile, including your home's proximity to a fault line, whether it's located on bedrock or fill, and the structure's construction materials and quality. To identify specific hazards, like soil liquefaction and fault rupture hazards, view the earthquake hazard map on the California Emergency Management Agency's \u003ca href=\"http://myhazards.calema.ca.gov/\">earthquake preparedness website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Doesn't homeowners insurance cover earthquakes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, earthquake damage is usually excluded from homeowners insurance policies. Earthquake insurance must be added on separately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about renters insurance?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A standard renters insurance policy typically costs about $120 per year, but that basic policy won't protect against earthquakes. Renters must add earthquake insurance to insure their possessions and to provide them a place to stay in the event that their home is damaged or destroyed. Although renters can insure their own possessions, it's up to the landlord to insure the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does earthquake insurance work for condo owners?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A condominium association can insure an entire condo complex, and each individual condo owner can insure the contents of their homes, according to Pomeroy. Additionally, condo owners can insure against receiving an assessment from the condo association if there is a loss that's spread across all condo owners in a building or complex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why doesn't everyone have earthquake insurance?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike homeowners insurance, earthquake insurance is not mandatory, and that isn't likely to change in the coming years. Banks require homeowners in flood zones to buy flood insurance, but they don't require homeowners in quake zones to obtain earthquake insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Californians have long viewed earthquake insurance as a losing proposition. The most common type of coverage is a high-deductible plan, which is similar to catastrophic medical insurance. And many people don't know about newer policy options that enable insurance holders to separately insure their homes and their possessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you buy an earthquake policy in California and you have a 15 percent deductible, as most people have, it's very unlikely you're going to see a payout, except for the Big One,\" said Amy Bach, executive director and co-founder of United Policyholders. So there's little incentive for many people to invest in the insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will the government help out if you're uninsured?\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably not. \"There are a variety of misperceptions about the government coming to your rescue afterwards. That is absolutely incorrect,\" said Bob Hartwig, president of the Insurance Information Institute. \"There's nothing the buys peace of mind like an insurance policy that is going to pay and is going to pay quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Through the government, the most you can possibly get is maybe about $32,000. You might get a loan, which has to be paid back. All told, the amount is not going to be sufficient for you to recover. You'll have to pay it back. And you won't know when you'll get it, if you get it at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the government's reticence can be attributed to politics: The federal government has been shrinking in recent years, making a new type of disaster insurance unpopular among lawmakers. (The flood program is $24 billion in debt.) So, the situation is unlikely to change soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aside from earthquake insurance, how can I protect my home?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are easy mitigation measures that every homeowner can take, like strapping your hot water heater to the wall so it doesn't fall over and start a fire. Installing a gas shutoff valve is also a good way to protect against fire. Many owners of wood-frame buildings install shear panels to strengthen the structure and protect it against earthquakes.

He repeated the feat in New York by crossing the Hudson River. Schiller later formed a company, Schiller Sports, and on Friday he released a model of a high-end water bicycle, now available for sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the public unveiling at San Francisco’s St. Francis Yacht Club, Schiller perched on the bike and took questions from the press while floating next to one of the docks. “Bringing a bike onto the water is not an easy endeavor,” he said. “There are many engineering challenges, from propeller design to the framework of the bike itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/08/waterbike-5.gif\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-143678\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/08/waterbike-5.gif\" alt=\"Judah Schiller's waterbike\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Schiller and his team about three months to develop the bike and bring it to market. And although there are several other water bikes out there, Schiller says his is the most state of the art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a bit of hot-rod motorcycle engineering to this,” said Schiller, noting that the bike features two propellers, eliminating the need for a rudder and enabling riders to make sharp turns. The bike floats on a pair of inflatable pontoons, and it can be ridden forward and backwards. Setting up and breaking down the bike takes about 10 minutes, and it can fit in the trunk of a car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bike’s top speed is about 10 mph, and riders will likely need every bit of that speed when going against strong winds and currents in the bay and on the ocean. Schiller says it takes about 30 minutes to bike across the bay — about the time it takes to cross the Bay Bridge during rush hour. Although the bike might appeal to Bay Area commuters, Schiller expects the bike to be used primarily for recreation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an introductory price of $6,500, the Schiller X1’s target buyers will likely be limited to cycling enthusiasts with deep pockets. Schiller also expects hotels to be interested in buying the bikes in order to lease them to guests. The company will offer an upgraded “Founder’s Edition” for $8,775, which will be wet-dipped in mirrored chrome to reflect the surrounding environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company plans to roll out different products in the future, and perhaps a less expensive model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have our eyes set on how to build the sport of water biking,” Schiller said. “There will be future products down the road, and we’re already thinking about how we can make this accessible to more people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_143681\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/08/judah-schiller-2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-143681\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/08/judah-schiller-2-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Judah Schiller's waterbike\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Judah Schiller, inventor of Schiller X1 water bike, gives a demonstration at St Francis Yacht Club (Mark Andrew Boyer / KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

Schiller later formed a company, Schiller Sports, and on Friday he released a model of a high-end water bicycle, now available for sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the public unveiling at San Francisco’s St. Francis Yacht Club, Schiller perched on the bike and took questions from the press while floating next to one of the docks. “Bringing a bike onto the water is not an easy endeavor,” he said. “There are many engineering challenges, from propeller design to the framework of the bike itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/08/waterbike-5.gif\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-143678\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/08/waterbike-5.gif\" alt=\"Judah Schiller's waterbike\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Schiller and his team about three months to develop the bike and bring it to market. And although there are several other water bikes out there, Schiller says his is the most state of the art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a bit of hot-rod motorcycle engineering to this,” said Schiller, noting that the bike features two propellers, eliminating the need for a rudder and enabling riders to make sharp turns. The bike floats on a pair of inflatable pontoons, and it can be ridden forward and backwards. Setting up and breaking down the bike takes about 10 minutes, and it can fit in the trunk of a car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Schiller says it takes about 30 minutes to bike across the bay — about the time it takes to cross the Bay Bridge during rush hour. Although the bike might appeal to Bay Area commuters, Schiller expects the bike to be used primarily for recreation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an introductory price of $6,500, the Schiller X1’s target buyers will likely be limited to cycling enthusiasts with deep pockets. Schiller also expects hotels to be interested in buying the bikes in order to lease them to guests.

The Contra Costa County district attorney charged Gutierrez with misdemeanor battery, but none of the other girls involved in the fight were charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Gutierrez's fortunes have changed. After a successful social media campaign to raise awareness about her situation, charges against her were dropped. Then she learned that she had been voted the 2014 SF Pride community grand marshal. After winning 54 percent of the votes cast, Gutierrez will be honored on Sunday, when she'll ride through the parade in a convertible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is so rare that someone is charged with a crime and subsequently something positive comes of it,\" said Gutierrez's lawyer, Kaylie Simon, in an email. \"This is truly rare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez has never been to San Francisco's LGBT Pride Parade before. \"I actually didn't even know about the grand marshal, and then I was shocked that I got more than 50 percent of the vote,\" she said. \"That's crazy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, before the school fight and resulting media coverage, Gutierrez and her family didn't even know how to describe her gender identity. \"It flashed on the news that I was transgender,\" she recalls. \"Until then I didn't even know what I was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_140548\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/Jewlyes-Gutierrez-1.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-140548\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/Jewlyes-Gutierrez-1-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Jewlyes Gutierrez\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“It flashed on the news that I was transgender,” Gutierrez said. “Until then I didn’t even know what I was.” (Mark Andrew Boyer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At her home in Hercules this week, Gutierrez sat on the sofa wearing the violet dress she bought for the parade and recalled the events of the past year.

She spit the gum in her hand and threw it in my face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez said she went to the principal and vice principal about the incident, but she said they weren't very responsive. The principal has not yet responded to KQED's request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In class the next day, Gutierrez said the other girl -- the gum thrower -- turned to her and threatened her. \" 'I feel like punching you in the face,' \"Gutierrez recalled her saying, slapping her fist into her open palm. After being taunted a third time, Gutierrez lashed out and clashed with the three girls during lunchtime -- the fight that made its way to YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, Gutierrez and her family decided to use all the media attention to their advantage. Gutierrez's sister, Valerie Poquiz, started a Change.org petition calling on the district attorney to drop the battery charges. More than 200,000 people signed the petition, and several local groups, including the Transgender Law Center, the Rainbow Community Center and the RYSE Youth Center, rallied around Gutierrez. On May 1, a Contra Costa County judge dropped the charges against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_140555\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/Jewlyes-Gutierrez-5.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-140555\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/Jewlyes-Gutierrez-5-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Gutierrez said that being recognized during Pride Weekend is something that has helped lift her spirits (Mark Andrew Boyer / KQED)\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gutierrez said that being recognized during Pride Weekend is something that has helped lift her spirits.

During the program, she was able to confront her harassers about their actions. \"She learned that she can't fight everyone,\" said Debra Gutierrez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hercules High School recently changed its gender policy, requiring school officials to address transgender students according to their chosen gender identity.

The fight was caught on video and uploaded to YouTube, and several news outlets covered the story. The Contra Costa County district attorney charged Gutierrez with misdemeanor battery, but none of the other girls involved in the fight were charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Gutierrez's fortunes have changed. After a successful social media campaign to raise awareness about her situation, charges against her were dropped. Then she learned that she had been voted the 2014 SF Pride community grand marshal. After winning 54 percent of the votes cast, Gutierrez will be honored on Sunday, when she'll ride through the parade in a convertible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is so rare that someone is charged with a crime and subsequently something positive comes of it,\" said Gutierrez's lawyer, Kaylie Simon, in an email. \"This is truly rare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez has never been to San Francisco's LGBT Pride Parade before. \"I actually didn't even know about the grand marshal, and then I was shocked that I got more than 50 percent of the vote,\" she said. \"That's crazy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, before the school fight and resulting media coverage, Gutierrez and her family didn't even know how to describe her gender identity. \"It flashed on the news that I was transgender,\" she recalls. \"Until then I didn't even know what I was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_140548\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/Jewlyes-Gutierrez-1.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-140548\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/Jewlyes-Gutierrez-1-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Jewlyes Gutierrez\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“It flashed on the news that I was transgender,” Gutierrez said. “Until then I didn’t even know what I was.” (Mark Andrew Boyer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At her home in Hercules this week, Gutierrez sat on the sofa wearing the violet dress she bought for the parade and recalled the events of the past year. Prior to the November fight, Gutierrez says she was subjected to regular bullying and sexual harassment by her peers. \"What you see in the video is nothing compared to every single day,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The girl seated next to her allegedly told Gutierrez that she didn't want to sit near her. \"She had gum in her mouth. She spit the gum in her hand and threw it in my face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez said she went to the principal and vice principal about the incident, but she said they weren't very responsive. The principal has not yet responded to KQED's request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In class the next day, Gutierrez said the other girl -- the gum thrower -- turned to her and threatened her. \" 'I feel like punching you in the face,' \"Gutierrez recalled her saying, slapping her fist into her open palm. After being taunted a third time, Gutierrez lashed out and clashed with the three girls during lunchtime -- the fight that made its way to YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, Gutierrez and her family decided to use all the media attention to their advantage. Gutierrez's sister, Valerie Poquiz, started a Change.org petition calling on the district attorney to drop the battery charges. More than 200,000 people signed the petition, and several local groups, including the Transgender Law Center, the Rainbow Community Center and the RYSE Youth Center, rallied around Gutierrez. On May 1, a Contra Costa County judge dropped the charges against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_140555\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/Jewlyes-Gutierrez-5.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-140555\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/Jewlyes-Gutierrez-5-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Gutierrez said that being recognized during Pride Weekend is something that has helped lift her spirits (Mark Andrew Boyer / KQED)\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gutierrez said that being recognized during Pride Weekend is something that has helped lift her spirits.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
