Appreciate the information RadioGuy. I am guessing that due to the infrequency of major earthquakes on the Puna side, most people defer this type of insurance. I remember mild earthquakes while living there, never thought much of it. As far as I understand, there are no major earthquake faults around Hawaii.
According to the interesting article below by the USGA “Most of Hawaii's earthquakes are directly related to volcanic activity and are caused by magma moving beneath the earth's surface.” http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/hazards/earthquakes.html
Historically most of Puna appear to be safe from damaging earthquakes.
