10 tips on how to prevent flood damage

KNOW YOUR FLOOD ZONE

One way to help prevent flood damage is to know your flood zone. Flood zones are areas that FEMA has determined are at a high risk for flooding. There are three main types of flood zones: high-risk, moderate-risk, and low-risk. 

If you live in a high-risk flood zone, it is important to have flood insurance. Flood insurance is a type of insurance that covers damage caused by flooding. It is important to note that standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage.
