A surprising number of Hurricane Katrina victims thought they were fully covered through homeowner insurance, only to learn flood damage was excluded from their policy under
all circumstances.
AFI encourages all residential property owners, in hurricane prone areas or not, to educate themselves about the availability of flood insurance and secure coverage as needed. After all, isn’t our home one of our biggest investments?
Keep in mind that there is a 30-day waiting period for a flood insurance policy to begin. So, act today! Don’t wait until “Hurricane Season” is in full force to purchase a flood policy.
