Earthquake & Flood

Flood Insurance

The coverage found in a Flood Insurance policy is straightforward and simple. The prices are also easy to understand and are the same from company to company. But when you start talking about flood zones, who is required to buy it and by whom.  The following is very good information about Flood Insurance, written by Fidelity National Flood Insurance, and re-printed with permission.

Background – NFIP

The National Flood Insurance Program was created as part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency back in 1973. It is to provide flood insurance to property owners who had risk from flooding to buildings and contents nationwide. See About the NFIP on www.Floodsmart.gov.

  • Private insurance companies declined to cover flood risk. Too many buildings could be damaged during the same event, this occurred too frequently and premiums would be high for those properties at greatest risk. But property owners continued to need coverage.
  • To assign premiums related to the risk of flooding, Federal flood hazard maps were developed to pinpoint flood risk for each property. For communities throughout the US who chose to join the flood program. Each property was determined to be either high risk (A or V zones) or low to moderate risk (B, C, or X zones). The flood hazard zone and details of the building construction were developed into a premium rating structure that has been modified over the years but is in use today. All building types, ownership types and risk zones would be covered.

Why is flood insurance “required” by my mortgage company?

Generally, flood maps should be reviewed every 5 years to account for flood events and new technology and modified, if deemed necessary. Mapping technology has been improved recently so considering these two facts many flood maps are being revised and accepted by the local municipalities as a condition of their participation in the NFIP so their communities can purchase flood insurance. See When Insurance is Required on www.Floodsmart.gov.

If my location is protected by a levee why do I still need to purchase flood insurance?

  • WOW!!!! I just switched from Geiko to CURTIS AND SAVED OVER $400 Dollars on my Home and Auto Insurance! Curtis is very professional and was up-front with me on the costs and what he could do. He told me right from the beginning what he could do without being too pushy or salesy... I appreciated that. I just sent him my current policy info for what i had and he responded within an hour with his quote which was significantly better.
