It’s been one year since Hurricane Sandy, and did you remember to purchase flood insurance?
As we remember the devastation and
hardship that many of our neighbors experienced due to Hurricane Sandy, Hunter
Insurance urges you to call today to add a flood insurance policy. Unfortunately, many people found out
the hard way that a standard homeowners or renters policy does not cover damage
due to ground water flooding.
If your home were to fall victim to
flash flooding or excessive rain, your homeowners insurance policy would not
pay for any repairs. Even if your
property is not located in a designated high-risk
flood zone these types of flooding incidents can happen anywhere, anytime. According to the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP), about 25% of all flood insurance claims are from
areas that are not deemed high-risk.
Adding a flood insurance policy
through the NFIP is a smart investment that will protect your home if the
unthinkable happens. You will have
the peace of mind knowing that your home and its contents will be restored
after disaster strikes. The
average waiting period for a flood insurance policy to take effect is 30 days,
so the time to act is now.
If you would like more information
on flood insurance visit floodsmart.gov and call Hunter Insurance at 769.9500
to add a policy today.
