Flood season has begun!  Predictions from the Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State University (CSU) expect 13 named storms this season, which runs from June 1 to November 30.  Of these 13 storms, 5 are expected to become hurricanes, two of which may reach major hurricane strength which is when winds reach 111 mph or greater.  But, we all know it only takes one hurricane to make landfall and change the life of people forever.  

If you haven’t purchased flood insurance yet, it really should be considered as an important part of your insurance portfolio.  Some flood facts:

  • All 50 states have experienced flash flooding in the last 5 years.
  • More than 20% of flood claims come from properties outside high-risk flood zones.
  • Just a few inches of water can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage.
  • If your property is grandfathered into a lower risk zone than FEMA’s current flood maps, and you let your policy lapse, you could lose the benefit of a lower rate.
  • Disaster Assistance is NOT free money – the most common form of assistance is a low-interest SBA loan.
  • Flood Insurance pays claims even if there isn’t a Presidential Disaster Declaration.
  • You may be able to decrease the cost of your premium while maintaining flood protection with private flood insurance.
