FLORIDA FLOOD INSURANCE
Rising Water Is a Different Risk.
Homeowners insurance generally does not cover flooding. Florida property owners should understand their flood exposure before the next major rain event or storm arrives.

UNDERSTAND THE RISK
Flooding Is Not Only
a Coastal Problem.
Storm surge is one source of flooding, but heavy rainfall, surface-water runoff, overflowing waterways and drainage issues can also create flood conditions.
Storm Surge
Coastal storms can push water inland, even beyond the shoreline.
Heavy Rainfall
Intense rain can overwhelm drainage systems and cause local flooding.
Inland Flooding
Flooding can affect properties even outside areas people traditionally think of as high-risk.

FAQ
Florida Flood Insurance Questions
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding?
Generally, no. Flooding caused by rising water is usually insured separately.

Flood risk exists outside high-risk zones. Whether you purchase coverage is a personal risk and financial decision, although a lender may also impose requirements depending on the property.
What is private flood insurance?
Private flood insurance is issued by private insurers rather than through the federal NFIP. Coverage features and availability vary by insurer and policy.
Is there a waiting period?
Waiting periods can apply to new flood coverage. Review the effective date before assuming coverage begins immediately.
Can flood insurance cover my belongings?
Contents coverage may be available, but it should be specifically reviewed rather than assumed.
