Check flood coverage now
May 18, 2010 - Dillon Herald
The tragic flooding that recently submerged much of
Tennessee is a grim reminder of how important disaster
preparation and flood insurance can be in protecting your family and your assets.
With the start of hurricane season just around the bend,
now is the time to make sure you have a plan in place should
a natural catastrophe hit our state.
The South Carolina Insurance News Service recommends
a thorough review of your insurance coverage with
your agent or company. A review should examine coverages,
ages, deductibles, limits, and any exceptions that may apply.
Flood insurance is NOT part of most standard homeowner,
mobile home, or renter s insurance policies. You must buy
separate flood coverage and there is a waiting period of 30
days. According to the National Flood Insurance Plan, 25 percent of all flood claims occur in
low-to-moderate risk areas.
