What is Flood Insurance?
Flood insurance is the specific insurance coverage against property loss from flooding. To determine risk factors for specific properties, insurers will often refer to topographical maps that denote lowlands, floodplains and floodways that are susceptible to flooding.

  2. No 30 Day wait to add Flood Endorsement coverage
  3. No HIFAA surcharge of $25 or $250
  4. Higher limits (in excess of $250,000 up to Cov A limit) without needing an Excess Flood policy
  5. Replacement Cost on Home and Personal Property
  6. Broader coverage for Other Structures in comparison to the NFIP
  7. Ordinance and Law coverage available
  8. Additional Living Expense coverage available
  9. Lower Rates than the NFIP
  10. One adjuster for homeowners and flood claims means a quick resolution
More About Flood Insurance
Flood Insurance Coverage Options:
Low-to moderate-risk areas

Most buildings and their contents in a low- to moderate-risk areas are eligible for a low-cost Preferred Risk policy. A Preferred Risk policy offers two types of coverage: building and contents combined or contents-only. Rates start as low as $49 per year for contents and $129 for building plus contents coverage.
If you live in a low- to moderate-risk area and you don't qualify for a Preferred Risk policy due to multiple flood losses on your property, a Standard Risk policy is available.

High-risk areas
Customers in high-risk areas can purchase Standard Risk coverage for the building only, contents only or for both the building and contents.

Coverage limits
​Based on the value of your building and its contents, coverage is available up to the following maximum limits of the National Flood Insurance Program:
Type                      Building                        Contents

Nonresidential     $500,000                      $200,000
(commercial)

If you need coverage beyond these amounts, you may be eligible for a separate Excess Flood policy.
