Insurance News And Updates
Flood insurance can protect your home and business from major losses.
Floods are common in many parts of the United States where it is not dry and arid. They can affect small communities, single homes, as well as multiple states.
Did you know most home and business insurance policies don't cover flood losses? If your community is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), you're eligible for federally sponsored Flood Insurance coverage for your home or business.
There are different types of floods such as flash floods, slow onset & rapid onset floods, arroyo floods, river floods, and urban floods. Flash floods can happen with no warning and without any sign of rain, these are the most dangerous. Slow onset floods and rapid onset floods are usually seen coming but nothing can be done to stop them. An arroyo flood is when rain water falls into a normally dry river and fills the dry land up to the point where it overflows. Urban floods are a result of too much rainfall on paved roads and buildings which do not allow water to drain sufficiently.
