Flood Insurance Coverage Details
Flood insurance protects against damages to dwellings and to belongings and it protects against liabilities. This type of insurance is often paired with homeowners insurance but it is also purchased as a standalone form of insurance. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) issues flood insurance but independent agents can sell flood insurance. Purchasing flood insurance through an independent agent allows a policyholder to get a better rate and to have higher limits. We work closely with every client so that we know what the appropriate limits and rates are for him or her. We’ll work with you in the same way in order to know the same things.
Rates for flood insurance policies are determined in part by the levels of risk of geographic areas in which policyholders live. You can find out what the flood risk level is of the area in which you live by using the FEMA Map Service Center search tool. Knowing the flood risk of your area can help you prepare for buying flood insurance.
