Flood insurance can be purchased through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or from a private insurer. NFIP flood insurance is available to homeowners, renters, and business owners who live in participating communities.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do I Need Flood Insurance?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you have a house or business considered at risk for flooding, your mortgage lender probably requires you to have a flood insurance policy. Even if you don&rsquo;t have a mortgage, purchasing flood insurance is still a good idea if you live in an area susceptible to flooding.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Does Flood Insurance Cover?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>An NFIP policy protects your home or business from all types of flooding, including hurricane-related storm surges, riverine flooding, flash flooding, and mudslides. Coverage limits for building structures start at $250,000 and go up to $500,000. Limits for content coverage begin at $100,000 and go up to $500,000. Higher limits are available for both building structures and contents through private insurers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Freeland Insurance Can Help<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Flooding can occur anytime and anywhere&mdash;even in areas that have never experienced flooding.
