Frequently Asked Questions About Flood Insurance
What is Flood Insurance?
Flood insurance is a specialized type of insurance coverage designed to protect property owners from financial losses incurred due to flooding. Traditional homeowners insurance policies typically do not cover damage caused by floods, so flood insurance becomes crucial, especially for properties located in flood-prone areas. This insurance provides coverage for both structural and content damage caused by the overflow of inland or tidal waters, rapid accumulation of rain, storm surges, or other similar events.
