FLOOD INSURANCE
Homeowner’s insurance does not cover flood damage-however did you know that flooding is ranked the #1 natural hazard in the U.S., occurring in and causing damages in all 50 states.
Flood insurance provides the necessary protection from destruction and financial devastation caused by floods. Although it may not seem like much, even a few inches of water can cause serious damage resulting in thousands of dollars in repair and restoration costs.
Flood insurance offers protection against losses that result from heavy and lengthy rain falls, storm surges, blocked storm drainage systems, snow melts, etc. – allowing you to proactively safeguard your home and possessions.
Different types of flood insurance policies are available based on your property’s location and flood history:
Standard Flood Insurance Policies
If you live in a community that participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), your building and its contents can be covered by standard flood insurance. Residents should be aware that the NFIP was established by the Federal Government to help communities who “voluntarily participate in the NFIP by adopting and enforcing floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage.” To be considered a flood, the waters must cover at least two acres or affect at least two properties. You must apply for building coverages and contents coverage separately if you choose to invest in a standard flood insurance policy.
Preferred Risk Flood Insurance Policies
If your home or business is in a low or moderate risk zone, you building may qualify for a low-cost preferred risk policy. While you aren’t required to purchase flood insurance, residents in low-to-moderate risk areas, should consider a preferred risk policy which will protect your home and its contents if you are affected by a small flood or larger flood that has extended into your low-risk area. In truth, many flood insurance claims occur in low-to-moderate risk areas.
