Research has highlighted the preconceptions that many Americans have about flooding and insurance.

Myth #1 – Floods are solely tied to natural disasters
A ‘flood’ isn’t just an extreme weather event – it's any external water that makes its way into your home.

Myth #2 – My homeowner policy protects me enough
Standard homeowner policies will only cover damage from water inside the home – anything external is excluded.

Myth #3 – I’m not at risk from flooding because I don’t live near water
40% of flood claims come from outside high-risk areas1, but for many the risk still seems remote.

Myth #4 – I can wait to add flood coverage
Awareness of the major flood risks is high, but your you might not have considered other pressing problems.

Myth #5 – Flood insurance is too expensive
Flood insurance can be very inexpensive.
