Flood Insurance

Standard home and renters policies usually exclude flood. Flood insurance helps protect your home and belongings from rising water.

How flood coverage works

Flood coverage is usually written separately from a homeowners policy, through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurance company.

Most flood policies have a waiting period before coverage starts, so planning ahead matters.
