Floods Flooding causes more than 90 percent of disaster-related property damage in the U.S. each year.

You may need NFIP Flood Insurance even if you do not reside in a high risk flood zone. Contact your local agent or private insurance company today. If you have a fuel tank, anchor it to a large concrete slab whose weight can resist the force of floodwaters and flotation.
