When major disasters such as hurricanes, mudslides, or heavy rainfall occur, properties are at risk of flooding, which can result in significant damage. Typically, property owners need to obtain additional flood insurance to cover damages caused by floods. However, the requirement for flood insurance varies. In some cases, insurers mandate flood insurance, while in others, property owners have the choice to opt for additional coverage.
The necessity of flood insurance depends on the property’s location and whether it falls within a designated flood hazard zone by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency).
Unfortunately, many property owners do not consider obtaining separate flood insurance until after experiencing flood damage, only to discover that their policy does not include flood coverage. It is crucial for property owners to understand the extent of coverage provided by their policies and ensure its adequacy for their needs.
