Flood insurance

Standard policies don't cover flood.

5 min read

Flooding can happen in many places, not just high-risk zones, and standard home and renters policies don't cover it.

Good to know

  • Flood insurance is available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and some private insurers
  • NFIP policies typically have a 30-day waiting period before coverage starts
  • Renters can buy flood coverage for their belongings
  • Check your area's flood risk at FloodSmart.gov

Check FloodSmart.gov and FEMA.gov for current details. Savings Nestle isn't paid by any insurer, agent or broker.
