Flood Insurance 101-Every Property in Florida is in a Flood Zone

Anywhere it rains, it can flood. A flood is a general and temporary condition where two or more acres of normally dry land or two or more properties are inundated by water or mudflow. Many conditions can result in a flood: hurricanes , overtopped levees, outdated or clogged drainage systems and rapid accumulation of rainfall. Just because you haven’t experienced a flood in the past, doesn’t mean you won’t in the future.

In fact, did you know that 25% of all floods happen in non-flood hazard areas? Flood risk isn’t just based on history, it’s also based on a number of factors: rainfall, river-flow and tidal-surge data, topography, flood-control measures, and changes due to building and development. Though the government actually provides flood insurance coverage, at Advantage Insurance , we issue this policy in the event of flood damage to your insured property, and Advantage Insurance can also service your claim.
