Flood Insurance Basics for Homeowners in Flood Prone Areas
A flood policy backed by FEMA is required for flood losses as standard homeowners policies exclude flood damage. Flood insurance covers water inundation but not sump pump or sewage backups. Rates vary by risk area from about 150 to 800 dollars annually with limits on dwelling and contents. Even low to moderate risk zones have flood risk and policies take about 30 days to become effective.
