There is something poetic about working while it's raining heavily outside, and the city has a Stage 1 flood alert in place. This is your reminder that

FLOOD INSURANCE IS STILL A THING.

Houston will see favorable conditions for widespread showers and thunderstorms today and Tuesday, and accordingly we have put a Stage 1 flood alert into place. On Wednesday we should transition to warmer and drier conditions. By this weekend, and into next week, we can expect hot and sunny conditions to prevail.

Afloat Insurance is 6 years old today!

When I first had the vision to open a flood insurance only agency, I received a lot of feedback that I would do more business if I bundled home and auto insurance with the flood insurance. I pushed back. I wanted to do one thing only and do it really well. I had faith that I could explain my value to my clients. If they understood it, then they were my people.

I knew it was a volume business, and I had to build my agency one client at a time. This birthday celebration is a thank you to everyone who has ever tagged me or recommended me to someone. The biggest thank you goes to my friends, family, neighbors, strangers, and network of people I know who trusted me with their flood insurance. I couldn’t have done it without you.

🥇I HAVE THE GREATEST CLIENTS OF ALL TIME! 🥇

⭐You are my Afloat G.O.A.T! ⭐

Is your name on the list? Are you one of our future troublemaker?

This post popped up in my annual memories. I think it's time we posted an update. Exactly a year ago, NFIP Direct was undergoing a transition to a new processing company. We were promised a better user experience. That promise was not delivered. As a matter of fact, today I received an email that the cloud server is down, and they are trying to pinpoint the problem. Because of these types of problems and many more, last August Afloat Insurance had to look for solutions to phase out working with NFIP Direct.

We are pleased to announce we are now appointed with The Hartford for WYO NFIP policies, and with Neptune for private flood insurance. As a flood insurance policy comes up for renewal, We are reviewing them to convert them to The Hartford NFIP and comparing if Neptune is a viable option. Having access to both NFIP and private flood insurance helps us be sure we are offering the best option for each client.

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.
