Flood Insurance

Be Protected When Rising Water Threatens

Flooding is the most common—and costly—natural disaster in the U.S., yet it isn’t covered by standard homeowners insurance. Advisors will help you understand the fine print, compare FEMA and private options, and make sure you’re protected before the storm clouds gather.

Any questions not covered below?
Do I need flood insurance if I’m not in a flood zone?

Yes. One in four flood claims comes from outside high-risk areas. Policies are often affordable and can provide critical peace of mind.

What counts as a flood under FEMA?

FEMA defines a flood as affecting at least two acres of normally dry land—or you and at least one neighbor. Localized water damage (like a backed-up drain) typically isn’t covered.

Can I buy flood insurance anytime?

There’s usually a 30-day waiting period before coverage takes effect, so it’s best to buy before a storm is on the horizon.

How do private flood insurance policies differ from FEMA?

Private carriers may offer higher coverage limits, fewer restrictions, and faster claims processing. We’ll help you compare both to see which fits your situation best.
