Flood Insurance
Homeowners insurance doesn't cover flood damage. A
flood policy protects you from flood damage caused by the complete
overflowing of inland or tidal waters onto the land, the rapid and
unusual accumulation of surface waters, and damage caused by mudflows
resulting from river flooding over a surface of normally dry land.
While the chance that fire will strike a home is only one percent in the
life of a 30-year mortgage, the chance of a home located in a
flood-prone zone being ravaged by floods is 26 percent over 30 years.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, floods result in
over $1 billion of property damage each year, yet only one-third of
Americans living in heavy flood zones have an insurance policy that
protects them against flood damage.
Federal flood insurance is the only type of coverage that protects your
home and belongings from damage caused by rising water associated with
flooding. Coverage includes structural elements, contents and personal
items.
