  Flood Insurance  
 
  • Flood losses are not covered under homeowners’ insurance policies.
 
 
  • FEMA manages the National Flood Insurance Program, which makes federally-backed flood insurance available in communities that agree to adopt and enforce floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage.
 
 
  • Flood insurance is available in most communities through insurance agents.
 
 
  • There is a 30-day waiting period before flood insurance goes into effect, so don’t delay.
 
 
  • Flood insurance is available whether the building is in or out of the identified flood prone area.
