Flood Safety Awareness Week - 5 Simple Things You Can Do Now to Prepare for a Flood – Day 2

As part of NH Flood Safety Awareness Week, each day this week we’re highlighting a simple thing that you (or anyone) can do now to prepare for when a flood happens. Here’s today tip:

#2: Buy flood insurance.

Buying flood insurance is a good idea even if you’re not located in a high risk flood zone. Did you know that over 20% of flood insurance claims are in lower risk areas? Plus most homeowner insurance policies do not cover floods. Policies are available at reduced prices for properties in lower risk areas -- contact your insurance agent or visit www.FloodSmart.gov to learn more today!
