Coverage Specifics

Flood insurance covers damage caused by water from a natural or manmade disaster, but this damage must occur on a large scale. In other words, it must affect other property in the area in addition to yours. Much of this coverage is offered through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). You and your insurance agent can work with this program, but you should know that the basic amount of coverage is $250,000 in structural damage and $100,000 in personal property damage. If necessary, you may increase or reduce your coverage.

Flood Policies

If you need more than $350,000 in total coverage, then you can consider an excess flood rider. This rider is for homeowners who have high cost homes or possessions. You also might want to upgrade your coverage if you live near a lake or river that could possibly flood. This coverage will be invaluable in the event of a disaster.
