Muswellbrook Mayor Jeff Drayton said he was shocked when he read some of the feedback from the survey.
Councillor Drayton says some insurance companies should be ashamed of themselves.
200 locals contributed to the online survey, which will now be forwarded to the State Government who have agreed to reconsider declaring the quakes an official natural disaster.
