Flood Insurance Protects Against
Flood Losses Release Date: February 24, 2009 Boston - Many New England
residents are unaware that most homeowners insurance policies do not cover
flood damage; and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) encourages
every homeowner, business owner or renter to seriously consider flood insurance.
If you don't buy it now, you may be left without any insurance coverage when
you need it most. New England is consistently
threatened by severe storms and heavy rains throughout the spring and summer
seasons. As more than 123,000 policy
holders in New England can attest, flood insurance is the best way to protect
against the damaging effects of flooding. In fact, New England policy-holders
share more than $26 billion in coverage. Homeowners can insure their home
from flooding for up to $250,000 and its contents for up to $100,000. Renters
can cover their belongings for up to $100,000. Non-residential property
owners can insure a building and its contents for up to $500,000 each. The
average homeowners flood insurance premium for New England policyholders is
approximately $950 a year. There is a generally a 30-day waiting period
before a policy becomes effective. Property owners, renters and
business owners - you can purchase flood insurance if your community is among
the more than 20,200 communities that participate in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP), managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). To purchase flood insurance, you should contact your local insurance
agent. You can also visit FloodSmart.gov or call 1-800-427-2419 to find an
agent in the area or learn more about flood insurance. FEMA coordinates the federal
government's role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of,
responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or
man-made, including acts of terror. |
