Most homeowners insurance does not cover floods.

  • Only flood insurance financially covers your home and your personal property from floods.
  • ​A flood insurance policy compensates homeowners, renters, and business owners for all covered losses, and unlike a Federal disaster loan, it does not have to be repaid.

  • Qualifying homeowners in moderate- to low-risk areas can purchase a lower-cost policy.
  • ​Qualifying renters can purchase contents-only coverage for buildings in moderate- to low-risk areas.
  • ​​A lower-cost PRP also is available to business owners with up to $500,000 building coverage and $500,000 contents coverage (per building).
  • ​​Business owners who lease their space can purchase contents-only coverage.
  • To qualify for a PRP, the property must be located in a moderate- to low-risk area and meet loss history requirements.
  • ​Two claims or disaster relief payments of $1,000 or more for flooding, or three flood losses of any amount, make the structure ineligible for the PRP.

  • It doesn't matter whether your flood risk is high or low, you can buy flood insurance as long as your community participates in the NFIP.

  • ​Outside of the high-risk Special Flood Hazard Area, most properties will qualify for the lower-cost Preferred Risk Policy.
  • ​​Even though flood insurance isn't federally required, anyone can be financially vulnerable to floods. In fact, people outside of mapped high-risk flood areas file nearly 25% of all National Flood Insurance Program flood insurance claims and receive one-third of Federal Disaster Assistance for flooding.

  • Anywhere it can rain, it can flood.
