Flood Insurance
For those ‘more frequent than hundred year’ floods. >
Flood Insurance
Just because you don’t live in a high flood risk area, doesn’t mean it’ll never happen to you. We’ll provide the specialized coverage you need to help protect your home from rising waters
– even if you’re not in a flood zone.
What is it?
Flood insurance is a type of property insurance that covers a dwelling for losses sustained by water damage, as it specifically relates to flooding. It is an insurance policy that helps to protect you against property damage in the event of a flood. If you live in an area that is deemed to have a high flood risk, you will likely be required to buy flood insurance buy your mortgage lender.
What is covered by flood insurance?
Flood insurance covers losses directly caused by flooding. In simple terms, a flood is an excess of water on land that is normally dry, affecting two or more acres of land or two or more properties. For example, damage caused by a sewer backup is covered if the backup is a direct result of flooding.
Why you should buy flood insurance?
Flood insurance compensates you for all covered flood-related losses to your home or business after your deductible is met. You can depend on being reimbursed for flood damages because NFIP flood insurance is backed by the federal government, even if the President does not declare a federal disaster.
Flood insurance in general is required for homeowners if their residences are located in special flood hazard areas (SFHAs) and have federally backed mortgages. If this describes you, every lender will require you to carry flood insurance that covers the smallest of these three: The cost to completely rebuild your home, the amount remaining on your mortgage, or $250,000, which is the coverage limit for NFIP insurance.
Flood Insurance Options
The current flood insurance marketplace offers three major options for consumers:
NFIP-backed Policy
This is a NFIP policy obtained directly through the NFIP or a WYO insurer. WYOs are private insurance companies that assume no risk, but sell NFIP-backed insurance under their companies’ names. Under the arrangement, the private companies are compensated for policies written and claims processed, while the government defines underwriting rules and assumes all of the risk.
NFIP coverage is limited to $250,000 on personal residences and $500,000 on commercial structures. The program is reliant on government funding, so if it is not reauthorized or the government debt ceiling is not adequate, the NFIP cannot issue new coverage or renew existing policies.
NFIP Lookalike Policy
This is a NFIP policy obtained directly through the NFIP or a WYO (Write Your Own) insurer. Some insurers, including some WYOs, now offer policies which are nearly identical to NFIP policies, besides the fact that the issuing carrier assumes the risk. It is still unclear how many states will require insurance professionals to take the NFIP class to sell these products.
This approach is fairly new, and the jury is still out as to how state insurance commissioners will regulate it. The product is usually sold as surplus lines coverage.
Private Insurer Policy
This is a “normalized” policy, with a privately backed insurer, that performs to insurance industry norms. High-quality private insurers offer more robust coverage and higher limits than the NFIP or similar policies. Often, these private policies come with lower rates for policyholders, language that is easy to understand and explain to clients, and user-friendly applications and policy forms.
Further, options are sometimes available to bundle flood with other perils like earthquake and landslide. With some private insurers, agents and brokers will find a broader definition of “flood,” plus coverage that includes basement contents, business interruption and additional living expense, among numerous other enhancements.
What is the NFIP?
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a program created by the Congress of the United States in 1968 through the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (P.L. 90-448). The program enables property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance protection, administered by the government, against losses from flooding.
What is Private Market Flood Insurance?
Private Market Flood Insurance is coverage for flood insurance that is not offered through the National Flood Insurance Program. This includes primary standalone policies and first dollar policies that cover the flood peril and excess flood
