Isn't flood covered by homeowners insurance?
Generally no — flood is a standard exclusion. A separate flood policy covers it, and an agent can compare NFIP and private options.
Is there a waiting period?
NFIP policies typically have a 30-day waiting period unless tied to a loan closing. Don't wait for a storm in the forecast.
Do I need it if I'm not in a high-risk zone?
Lenders require it in high-risk zones, but floods don't read maps. An agent can show what coverage costs for your actual location.
