'Below are are a commonly asked questions about flooding:

QUESTION: Does my homeowner's insurance cover floods?

);;:> ANSWER: NO! You must purchase a separate Flood Insurance Policy to be covered for flood events. Purchase today! Don't wait for the next flood, as there is a 30-day waiting period for coverage to begin - not enough time to find out what the weather forecast is!

QUESTION: What about all the great stuff I have in my house. Does my Flood Insurance policy cover the contents of my home?

);;:> ANSWER: NO! Protect your belongings by adding Contents Insurance to your coverage. It does not typically cost much more and can provide extra peace of mind should your property become flooded.

QUESTION: What can I do to protect my home or business from future floods?

ANSWER: You can join in with your many friends and neighbors who have elevated their homes, floodproofed their businesses with venting,checking your building for water entry points and addressing them,installing mechanisms to prevent sewer back-ups, developing a disaster response plan, and more!
