Flood: The #1 Natural Disaster in the US.

Water is fun and adventurous in your backyard pool but creates havoc when seeping into your basement or bedroom. Flood insurance holds the difference between recovering from a loss or experiencing financial devastation.


Flooding is the most common natural disaster in the United States and can occur anywhere, even in the desert; yet, a standard homeowners insurance policy does not cover flood damage. You do not have to live in a high-risk flood zone to be affected by a flood. In fact, 20 to 25 percent of flood claims originate from properties outside high-risk flood zones. 

 

It is essential to understand your true flood risk and whether flood insurance is something you should consider to protect your home from floods associated with hurricanes, tropical storms, heavy rains, and other impactful conditions.

Are You at Risk?

No home is completely safe from potential flooding. Due to the nature of flood damage, it can be an emotionally and financially devastating event. Even just one inch of water can cause $25,000 in property damage. Without flood insurance, most individuals must pay out of pocket or take out loans to repair and replace damaged property and belongings. Even if you have homeowners, renters, condo, landlord, mobile home or business insurance, you may need to purchase a separate flood insurance policy to protect against losses from a flood. When you have flood insurance, you recover faster and more adequately. These policies cover physical damage to your property and possessions resulting from floods or flood-related losses. The federal government operates the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which issues flood insurance policies. Whether you are required to buy flood insurance or want additional protection for your property, VIA can evaluate your needs and help you decide if flood insurance is advisable through the NFIP or a private insurance company.

Flood Insurance

In 1968, Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to provide homeowners, renters, and business owners with a means to financially protect their property and possessions. To reduce the risk of flooding, participating communities adopted and enforced specific ordinances meeting or exceeding FEMA requirements.

If your home is in an NFIP participating community, you may be eligible for flood insurance at a reasonable cost through the federal government.

Private flood insurance is a viable alternative to buying a government-backed policy under the NFIP. Private flood coverage is available through private insurers, such as Lloyd’s of London or TypTap, and it satisfies federal mandates and mortgage requirements. Get A Flood Insurance Quote.
