The New Flood Map Changing in Florida:
In the State of Florida, flooding is 24 times more likely to occur than a fire. Florida standard homeowners insurance policy will not cover damages caused by flooding. You must have flood insurance from Florida insurance companies that write for the National Flood Insurance Program.
If your community participates in a flood plan management program, you should be eligible to buy the coverage no matter if your flood risk is low, medium or high. Flood insurance Florida is also available to Income properties, Warehouses, Apartment Building, and Condominium Association.
What are the Characteristics of Flooding Damages?
A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more properties at least one of which is yours from:
- Overflow of inland or tidal waters.
- Unusual & rapid accumulation of runoff or surface waters from any source.
- Mudflow defined as a river of liquid and flowing mud on the surfaces of normally dry land areas, as when earth is carried by a current of water.
- Collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or similar body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels.
- Outside of fire, flooding is the most widespread natural disaster. According to the National Flood Insurance Program, two adjacent properties have to be under water to call the situation a flood. In a rural area, at least 2 acres must be submerged.
Commercial Flood Insurance in South Florida.
Businesses in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach County face the same flood risks as residential properties, and the financial consequences can be even larger. A flooding event can damage a commercial building, destroy inventory, and interrupt operations for weeks or months. Standard business insurance policies, like standard homeowners policies, typically exclude flood damage.
Commercial flood insurance through the NFIP or a private insurer can cover a business property and its contents. Business owners should evaluate their building value, equipment, inventory, and revenue exposure when deciding how much flood coverage to carry. The same flood zone determination and quoting process used for residential properties applies to commercial ones, so business owners can get a clear picture of their options quickly.
