I highly recommend asking the Palm Springs Modernism Committee to intercede. Are you sure it was an earthquake? I didn't see anything in the Desert Sun about any seismic activity. I hope it was not an earthquake because there is a very distinct possibility that the hotel's owners did not purchase the earthquake rider, which are extraordinarily expensive. Consequently, it is likely that the insurance company will decline coverage if the cause is seismic, meaning there will be no insurance payment to pay for the rebuild.
