Good to Know: Flood Insurance Basics

Do you have flood insurance? Do you need it? Here are a few points to keep in mind:

• Areas that are considered high-risk are required by the federal government to have flood insurance. Check with your local government to see if this applies to you.
• The insured building and its contents are generally covered, but there are always exceptions. Check with your insurance agent for a full list of coverage.
• Flood insurance premiums must be paid in one complete payment for the entire year.
• Coverage spans for the full twelve months following payment.
• A 30 day waiting period applies. There can be a few exemptions, check with your insurance provider for more information.
• Proof of primary residency is generally required when filing a claim.

While flood insurance is not always required, it is always a good idea (See: What Does Flood Insurance Cover?). Having insurance will help you rest easy knowing that if something does happen, you will be covered.
