“Unfortunately, private flood insurance is relatively new—so buyers like yourself will have limited flood insurance options. For now, you can choose from the following:
FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). NFIP is a government-subsidized policy that’s available at a relatively low rate. You may even qualify for discounts depending on your location and community’s flood prevention efforts.
Private insurance. While private providers will usually have a higher claim limit (the amount they’re willing to pay out for damages), they may be less reliable than FEMA’s policy. Plus, the cost of insurance may vary drastically between providers.
