FAQ
Common Questions and Answers About Your Flood Policy Options
How can I tell what flood zone my property is in?
You can use this lookup tool on the FEMA website. Then click on the “Go to NFHL Viewer” button, drop the pin, and run the report. Click the report link to see the Zone letter behind the pin.
When do mortgage lenders require flood insurance based on flood zones?
While almost any area in New York can be susceptible to flooding, the high-risk zones that start with "A" (100-year floodplain) or "V" (coastal areas with additional hazards) are the zones lenders will require you to purchase flood insurance for.
How much does flood insurance cost?
Flood insurance rates are based on multiple factors, especially the flood risk level of the zone your property is in. For example, flood zone “X” carries the lowest risk level, while “A” and “V” zones are higher risk. A flood policy in zone “X” usually starts at around $650 per year, while policies in “A” or “V” zones start at about $2,000 per year on average.
Don’t fall for these flood insurance myths. Get the flood protection you deserve.
Many people think they don’t need flood insurance based on a few misconceptions. Here are three common myths that could put you at risk:
- Myth 1: Flood insurance is only for high-risk areas. Fact: Floods can happen anywhere, anytime, and cause severe damage. More than 20% of flood claims come from low-risk areas.
- Myth 2: Homeowners insurance covers flood damage. Fact: Most homeowners policies do not include flood insurance. You need a separate policy to protect your home and belongings from flooding.
- Myth 3: The government will take care of flood insurance. Fact: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) only covers a small fraction of American homes. And even if you qualify for NFIP, you may still need additional coverage to protect your property fully.
