HOA- FEMA National Flood Insurance
Community Outreach Program
It is considered wise to have flood insurance even when your home is not within a flood zone. Any property can flood given the right set of unfortunate circumstances. Please keep in mind that homeowners insurance or rental insurance do not typically include insurance for flooding events.
Hurricane season runs from the beginning of June to the end of November each year. FEMA encourages all homeowners and renters to purchase flood insurance. After the devastation of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, it was discovered that 80% of the damaged properties did not have flood insurance.
Once Hurrican season begins, there is generally a 30 day waiting period before any flood insurance policy goes into effect.
