Abstract：

China　is　one　of　the　countries　that　suffer　the　severest　earthquake　in　the　world.　Since　Wenchuan　earthquake　in　2008,　earthquake　insurance　has　become　a　hotspot　in　China,　both　in　the　earthquake　engineering　field　and　security　management　field.　Considering　the　importance　of　residential　safety　and　national　economy,　earthquake　insurance　is　of　prior　necessity.　The　development　of　earthquake　insurance　during　the　past　five　decades　in　China　and　other　countries　is　summarized.　Several　issues　related　to　earthquake　insurance　in　China　are　discussed.　The　paper　provides　a　short　but　comprehensive　review　of　the　earthquake　risk　model　and　denotes　the　crucial　issues　and　the　problems　that　engineer　could　confront,　and　proposed　potential　solutions　to　difficulties　in　the　development　of　earthquake　insurance　in　mainland　China.　©　2019　IOP　Publishing　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
