Protecting Your Home Against Flood Loss

Insurance Read Time: 2 min

The financial loss that comes with flooding can be devastating. The average flood claim payout from the National Flood Insurance Program is over $66,000. Yet, many Americans are not protected against flood damages, primarily because flooding is not covered under a standard homeowners policy.1

Low vs. High Risk

Even if you are in a moderate-to-low-risk area—homes not residing within mapped high-risk flood plains—you could suffer flooding at some point. In fact, moderate-to-low-risk areas account for more than 25% of all National Flood Insurance Program insurance claims.2

To protect yourself from the financial risks of flooding, you can consider purchasing insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program, which you can obtain through a local insurance agent. However, to be eligible, you will need to live in a community that participates in the program.3

Coverage Choices

If you live in a moderate-to-low-risk area, you may qualify for coverage at a preferred rate, with building and contents coverage for one low price.

If you live in a high-risk area, the National Flood Insurance Program offers separate coverage for buildings and contents.

The cost of flood insurance depends on a number of factors, including the age of your home, the number of floors, the location of contents, and other considerations.  You should consider the amount of your deductible and level of coverage before purchasing a flood insurance policy.
