Recover faster with flood insurance
Rebuild and come back stronger: Why flood Insurance is key
After witnessing a car accident, people tend to drive more carefully, exercising a healthy amount of caution from their first-hand experience. Similarly, after witnessing the devastation of flooding, homeowners and renters become more cautious, understanding their need for protection.
With unpredictable weather patterns sweeping the nation more frequently, people are asking, “Do I need flood insurance?” and the answer is clear: yes.
Wherever it rains, it can flood
The NFIP has always emphasized that wherever it rains, it can flood. Some may dismiss this with comments like, “What if I live on a mountain?” The reality is that flooding can happen anywhere. Mudflow can be particularly damaging on and near mountains, for example. Flooding can happen in areas impacted by wildfires and in major cities, even if your clients might not believe it themselves.
Instead of reacting after the fact, you can guide your clients toward understanding how flood insurance plays a vital role in recovery. Encourage them to protect their homes and their finances before disaster strikes. Flood insurance ensures they can build back stronger and that they are better equipped for future storms and challenges.
Why flood insurance matters for a stronger recovery
What your clients don't know can hurt them; the resulting impact of flooding can devastate homes and drain finances. Even just a few inches of water can lead to significant expenses, making recovery a significant uphill challenge. Flood insurance provides them with a safety net, helping them get the financial boost they need to put their life back in order.
In fact, many policies include Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) coverage which offers up to an additional $30,000 to help bring homes up to code after a flood. As the weather grows more unpredictable by the year, being able to upgrade their homes helps ensure your clients are more resilient against future disasters.
Why your clients need flood insurance to build resilience
Being insured isn't just about replacing what was lost; it's about reclaiming control and putting a home back together. By protecting their homes now, your clients gain security and peace of mind. After a flood, they can recover quickly, rebuild smarter, and become more resilient than before.
Experiencing a flood is draining, but your clients can recover and equip themselves for a more flood-safe future. Help them get the coverage they need to recover quickly and easily after a flood.
