Weather the Storm: Flood Insurance
Monday, August 28, 2006
With the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina upon us, and with a new season of storms moving in, it's important to remember something that most homeowners forget: flood insurance.
Most insurance policies do not specifically cover flood damage (usually only rain damage from water that enters from the roof and windows.) Also, check with your insurance supplier soon - most policies only cover a homeowner who has taken it out at least 30 days before disaster strikes.
Check out FEMA's FloodSmart page, which is the official site for the National Flood Insurance Program. If disaster does strike, don't forget to use Construction Deal to find a local Water Damage Restoration Company!
