What Flood Insurance Is

Flood insurance covers physical damage to your building and contents from flooding. It is typically separate from standard homeowners or renters policies. Coverage limits and deductibles apply; excess flood coverage may be available for high-value properties.

FEMA and the National Flood Insurance Program

The NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program), managed by FEMA, offers flood insurance in participating communities. Rates reflect flood risk; high-risk zones generally have higher premiums. Private flood insurance is also available and may offer different limits and terms.
