PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT: Prepare Yourself for Monsoon Season

Many people find out too late they are at risk for flooding, and even worse, that their property insurance does not cover flood damage. In fact, according to the National Flood Insurance Program, flooding occurs in every state and more than 30% of all floods occur in low risk areas. We are right in the middle of monsoon season and have already seen the effects of natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods here and in nearby states. Floods are random and can happen anytime, anywhere, and even in he same place twice. In fact, floods have become the leading cause of property damage from natural disasters.

*Please be aware that Earthquake and Flood insurance are NOT covered under standard insurance policies. Separate coverage has to be specifically secured and is available upon request. Talk to your Account Executive today to learn more about flood and earthquake insurance.
