Most Homeowners Insurance Does Not Cover Flood Damage

Most Homeowners Insurance Does Not Cover Flood Damage INDIANAPOLIS – Between 2003 and 2023, 99% of counties in the United States experienced a flood event. Flood insurance can protect your home from damage during a flooding event— so you can recover faster. Even if you don’t live near water, your home can still be at risk of flooding from changing conditions such as construction projects, surface erosion or natural events. From 2014 to 2024, almost one-third of National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) claims came from areas located in low- to moderate-risk flood zones. Flood insurance covers the cost of damage to your property and belongings after a flood event and is available to anyone in an NFIP participating community. You do not need a presidential disaster declaration to receive payment from your flood insurance policy. In comparison, federal disaster assistance requires a presidential disaster declaration and only comes in the form of financial or direct assistance from FEMA and low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Disaster Recovery (SBA).
