Why Diomede Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage

Harsh weather, remote locations, watercraft activities, and potential for accidents in isolated areas increase the chance of large liability claims. If a judgment exceeds the limits on your auto or homeowners policy, an umbrella helps protect savings, home equity, and future income.

We’ll sync your base policies with carrier requirements, then add an umbrella limit that fits your household, drivers, and properties.

Alaska Context: Underlying Policies & Property Rules

Auto Policy: Minimum Requirements

Alaska requires minimum auto liability of $50k/$100k for bodily injury and $25k for property damage. Umbrella carriers typically require higher underlying auto liability—often $100k/$300k or more. If your policy is at the minimum, we’ll upgrade your underlying limits to qualify.

Home/Condo/Renters Liability

Most umbrellas require at least $100k personal liability on your homeowners/condo/renters policy. We’ll also look at watercraft, snowmobiles, and other exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.

Property Owners

Alaska law requires owners of properties to carry liability insurance in certain cases. Your personal umbrella generally excludes business pursuits; property owners may need a separate policy to sit over those exposures.

Diomede-Specific Needs

In remote areas like Diomede, properties may require specific insurance coordination. We’ll handle certificates of insurance when needed for lenders or local requirements.

Tip: Keep records for watercraft safety, weatherproofing, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting.
