Frequently asked questions
Is flood insurance required?
Mortgage lenders require it for properties in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). Even outside an SFHA, it's worth carrying -- about 25% of NFIP claims come from low/moderate-risk zones.
How long until coverage starts?
NFIP policies have a 30-day waiting period from purchase to effective date (with a few exceptions, like loan closing). Private flood policies sometimes offer shorter waiting periods.
What does flood insurance cover?
Building structure (foundation, walls, electrical, plumbing) and contents (furniture, appliances). Standard NFIP limits are $250K building / $100K contents for residential. Higher limits available through private markets.
