Flooding is the most common and costly natural disaster in the United States, affecting every region and state. Floods cause physical and emotional anguish, as well as financial devistation. In fact, just one inch of water in an average home can cause more than $25,000 in damage.

Federal disaster assistance is not always the answer. Most types of federal disaster assistance require a presidential disaster declaration and come in the form of low-interest disaster loans that must be repaid – with interest!

Only flood insurance reimburses you for flood damage, providing the necessary funds for recovery – and you don’t have to pay it back.
