Understanding Flood Insurance
Depending on the level of risk you face, flood insurance can play a crucial role in your recovery after a flooding event. You may be required to buy flood insurance if:
- You reside in a designated high-risk flood zone and have a mortgage backed by a federally insured lender.
- Your lender mandates flood insurance regardless of residing in a high-risk zone.
- You live in a high-risk flood zone and have received disaster assistance through FEMA or the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Not purchasing flood insurance may disqualify them from future aid.
While the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) underwrites most flood insurance plans, Florida residents also have the option to purchase a policy from a private insurer. If your community participates in the NFIP, you can explore NFIP plans offered by major insurers or through the NFIP Direct system. Coverage typically includes structure insurance (protecting the home) , contents coverage (insuring belongings), and potential coverage for debris removal, loss avoidance, and compliance costs.
Who Needs Flood Insurance?
Flood insurance is mandatory for many homeowners, including those who:
- Reside in a designated high-risk flood zone and have a mortgage backed by a federally insured lender.
- Are required by their mortgage lender to purchase flood insurance, regardless of residing in a high-risk zone.
- Have previously received disaster assistance from FEMA or the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and live in a high-risk flood zone. Not having a policy may render them ineligible for future assistance.
