As a flood insurance agency, we focus on providing protection for loss of property. However, the recent catastrophic flooding in Kerr county reminds us that dangerous weather events can cause loss of life. We mourn for all of those who perished and those who are still missing. We pray for all of the families who are affected by the tragedy. Please keep them in your thoughts.

The National Flood Insurance Program is doing a system upgrade this week and will be back up and running on April 7, 2025. During this time, there is a nationwide blackout while they migrate data from one computer system to another. We have been promised a better user interface and more use capabilities.

What this means for us and policyholders: all work is on pause. There is no system access to quote, submit applications, make policy changes, enter endorsements, nor accept payments. Normal business will resume Monday April 7, 2025.

We regret any inconvenience.

If we can prepare for Christmas during Halloween and Thanksgiving, then we can prepare for hurricane season now. This is the perfect time to buy flood insurance. Here are the advantages.

1) You wait out your 30 day waiting period without a tropical weather threat in the Gulf.

2) Your policy will be in place before April showers start.

My supervisor is really getting on me to finish these flood insurance quotes today.

What. A. (🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬) Week. While Hurricane Beryl was more destructive than I could’ve imagined as a Category 1, I am beyond relieved that it wasn’t a flood event and ALL of my clients are dry. But please remember that flood insurance must still be included in your hurricane prep kit.

If you haven’t purchased a policy yet, go to my website and fill out a flood insurance quote request form. You can’t afford not to.

Afloat Insurance is a niche, Houston-based agency focused on residential and commercial flood-insurance policies.

Hurricane Beryl is a direct threat to our region, and I want my clients to be prepared in the event of a flood. A lot is said about the various hurricane preparation lists and supplies you need to weather a storm. Not a lot is shared about what to do after a storm. Standing in your living room with water up to your knees is too late to start asking questions. You are in panic mode, and once the water recedes your first instinct is to clean up everything and throw everything out. Do Not Do That. You do not want to make any decisions that will make processing your flood damage claim harder.

If you haven’t done so yet, go through your home room by room and take a photo or video inventory. Show your home as it looks with your décor and furniture before a flood comes through and floats things out of place. Document each piece of furniture, each electronic and its serial number. Take photos of your closets full of clothes and shoes. Take photos of your kitchen pantry and all your food. Document your medications lists. This will help you prepare your inventory list after a storm.

I have attached the Nation Flood Insurance Program Claim Handbook for you to review and familiarize yourself with. Pay attention to instructions starting on Pg 10.
https://agents.floodsmart.gov/sites/default/files/fema-claims-handbook-04-2022.pdf

· Contact your agent as soon as possible.
· Separate your property by damaged and undamaged property. Move undamaged property to a save dry spot.
· Don’t discard anything before your adjuster sees it. If you must discard something because it poses a health hazard, take photographs documenting the flood damaged items before disposing. Be sure to keep samples of disposed carpet or wood floors.
· Make a list of damaged personal property.
· Document and throw away water-damaged food, including canned goods. (Pg 9)
· List and photograph any areas of structural damage you want to show your adjuster.

Please read the full booklet for complete details.

The next step is out to file a claim. The information you need to provide is simple.
• Your name
• Policy number
• Addresss
• Date of the flood
• Brief description of damage, for example 2 inches of water in my kitchen.
• A good cell phone number and email address for communication.
There are 3 ways to do it.
1) Call NFIP Directly: 1-800-638-6620 (you will need your policy number)
2) Call or text me, your agent.713-540-8778. If you call, and you get my voicemail, send a text message with your claim information.
3) Email me: [email protected]: include your claim information.

I will submit your claims in the order I receive them. Please limit your claim information to one source. It will slow me down if the same claim is reported via text and email.

It looks like the Houston area will be in the path of Tropical Storm Beryl. It’s time to storm prep. Part of that prep should include taking a photo inventory of your home and its contents.

Although we cannot be certain at this time, it increasingly looks as though Tropical Storm Beryl is on track to make landfall somewhere between Corpus Christi and Matagorda Bay on Monday. For the greater Houston area this will result in higher winds, some storm surge, and heavy rainfall, with the greatest impacts likely on Monday. This post goes into what to tentatively expect, and when.

June 1st marks the official start of hurricane season, though this spring has already been very active with damaging storms and floods. The NOAA predicts above-normal storm activity. Flood insurance takes 30 days to go into effect, so there is no more time to wait. If you don't have flood insurance, buy it ASAP.
