Common Sense
Homeowner Flood
Preparedness
In addition to having the
correct amount of flood
insurance to protect your
property and home, there
are some common sense
building and planning steps
that could save you money.
If building in a floodplain
always elevate and reinforce
your home. Consult your
areas flood maps and local
authorities for suggestions
for how high to build up.
High flood risk homes
should have electrical
panels, water heaters, and
furnaces elevated for
maximum protection. You
don't want to be without
these crucial comfort
features after a flood or
rising waters strike your
home.
If you have floor drains in
your home, check valves
should be installed to
prevent rising water from
entering them.
Even though flood insurance
is relatively inexpensive,
most Florida homeowners
do not choose to
purchase the insurance
protection available.
According to the Federal
Insurance Administration,
less than 25% of the homes
in areas most vulnerable are
insured against flood loss. In
those areas, flooding is 24
times more likely to occur
than a fire during the course
of a 30-year mortgage.
