Talking to Home Buyers About Flood Risk and Flood

Floods can happen anywhere. They are not limited to coastal areas or to devastating tropical storms. Flooding can be caused by heavy rains, melting snow, inadequate drainage systems, or failed flood control structures such as levees and dams. In fact, floods are the most common natural disaster in the U.S. and most homeowners insurance does not cover damage it causes.
