Sam this is (worst case scenario) precisely why you need the earthquake insurance, to protect your investment/home. Apart from the fact that it is compulsory, the cost is relativly low and when you compare the cost to the protection offered it is good value.
Also, and I am not completly certain here, you could invalidate/reduce any claim payment on your house contents/buildings insurence if you do not have DASK, as some of the rebuild costs from earthquakes are paid by the buildings insurance.
