In the life of a 30-year mortgage, there is a 26% chance of flooding. Regardless of your location to flood zones, everyone in Bevil Oaks is encouraged to purchase flood insurance. Basic homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover damage from floods. The city participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, which means that federally subsidized flood insurance is available to everyone in the city. Remember, there is a 30-day waiting period before the policy becomes effective. Some people have purchased flood insurance because it was required by the bank or loan company when they obtained a mortgage or home improvement loan. Usually these policies just cover the building’s structure and not the contents; however, policies are also available to cover contents. Remember that a flood insurance policy must be renewed every year.
