Success stories: Weathering the storm

Hurricane Ida made landfall in New Jersey on Sept.1, 2021, causing the Raritan River to swell. The water flooded nearby communities and inundated homes. It’s a story that’s becoming more common. Being prepared makes a big difference. Thanks to flood insurance and other mitigation efforts, everyone has a way to feel like their homes and families will be protected from the next big flood.

Give your clients the upper hand

Provide your clients with key information about their hurricane season flooding risk.

  1. Hurricanes can bring heavy rains, high winds and storm surges. These result in surging tides and high water. Big waves can erode natural barriers, leaving coasts more vulnerable to future storms and flooding.

  2. During a hurricane, if the ground can’t absorb rainwater fast enough or storm drains can’t handle the runoff, rain can lead to flash floods.

  3. The average for claims closed with payment between 2020-2024 was $65,401.05 and does not need to be repaid.

  4. Most homeowners and renters insurance policies do not cover flood damage.
