In Florida, floods occur more than often and sometimes people don’t always consider flood insurance until its too late. Some things to consider when thinking about your homeowners insurance policy:
- Flooding is one of the most common insurance losses. Its unique in Florida as flooding may occur due to heavy rains or hurricanes. This makes it essential you find the right flood insurance coverage to compliment your home insurance policy.
- What about low-risk areas? There is a misconception out there that you may not need flood insurance coverage in a low risk area. The National Flood Insurance Program estimates 20% of flood claims are in low to moderate risk areas.
- Do you need flood insurance if you already have homeowners insurance in Florida? Yes. A standard homeowners insurance policy does not cover damages and losses brought about by flooding. This means just having the basic coverage does not provide the proper flood coverage needed.
