I get this question all the time and without evening speaking to you the answer is “YES”.
Every home is located in a Flood zone it’s just some zones are at a higher risk than others. Flood damage is the number 1 catastrophe in the nation yet very few homeowners purchase Flood insurance. Why?
I don’t know the answer to why but I can tell you, if you think the government or Red Cross is going to come to your rescue when a Flood occurs, think again.
Flood insurance is very inexpensive especially if your home is located in a preferred Flood zone. The problem with Flood insurance is you can only purchase up to $250,000 for dwelling coverage and $100,000 for contents coverage but something is better than nothing. I would certainly like to receive a check for $350,000 verses $0 for my neighbor who doesn’t have Flood insurance.
