Flood Insurance Protects Against Flood Losses
Boston – Many New England residents are unaware that most homeowners insurance policies do not cover flood damage; and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (fema) encourages every homeowner, business owner or renter to seriously consider flood insurance. If you don’t buy it now, you may be left without any insurance coverage when you need it most. New England is consistently threatened by severe storms and heavy rains throughout the spring and summer seasons.
Spring Rainfall, Snow Melt Can Cause Flooding
Boston – Throughout New England, residents are at risk from flooding during spring – the time of year when the warming sun and increased rainfall begin melting the winter snow pack, releasing its often high water content. The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (fema) urges New England residents to be prepared.
