Your homeowners policy and flood insurance are not the same protection.
Most standard homeowners policies typically do not cover flooding caused by rising water. That distinction matters before—not after—a major storm or heavy-rain event.
Review your current policy and ask:
* Do I have separate flood coverage?
* What are my coverage limits and deductibles?
* Is my personal property included?
* Does a waiting period apply before coverage begins?
Do not wait until water is approaching your door to discover a gap in your protection.
