Flood Insurance
A flood policy protects you from flood, meaning a general and temporary condition of partial or complete overflowing of inland or tidal waters, the unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source, and mudflows caused by flooding which are related to a river of liquid and flowing mud on the surface of normally dry land areas.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, floods result in over $1 billion of property damage each year. Yet only one-third of Americans living in heavy flood zones have the insurance to handle it (homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flood).
