Your homeowners policy does not provide
coverage in the event of a flood*. It is a specifically excluded
peril. Dont be fooled into thinking that just because you
dont own beachfront property, youre not at risk. Each
year, 35% of all paid flood claims are for properties located outside
of high-risk areas. Flood policies (in California) are available
for roughly $300 per year, depending on your location and level
of coverage.
Dont wait until the last minute to purchase coverage! There is
a standard 30-day waiting period, from the date of application, for coverage
to be effective. Please contact our office for more information or to
obtain a quote.
* A flood is defined as an overflow of inland
or tidal waters; the unusual accumulation and runoff of surface
waters from any source; inundation from mud flows caused by accumulations
of water on or under ground; or abnormal, flood-related erosion
and undermining of shorelines.
