Are you prepared for spring flooding?

Spring weather patterns can increase the risk of flooding. Flood insurance will help you recover from spring flooding, which can be caused by heavy rains, rapid snowmelt, and ice jams. Get the facts, know the risks, and take action to prepare before a severe weather strikes. Typically, there is a 30-day waiting period on new flood insurance policies, so the time to act is now.

 
 
 
 
 
 

PRIMARY RESIDENCE DISCLAIMER


For flood insurance rating purposes, a primary residence is a building that will be lived in by the insured or the insured's spouse for at least 80 percent of the 365 days following the policy effective date. If the building will be lived in for less than 80 percent of the policy year, it is considered to be a non-primary residence.
