My name is Eric Bowman, and if you have questions about insurance, this is the blog you need to read. I was always confused when I had to purchase insurance. I would either end up paying for insurance I didn't need or I wouldn't buy the right policy. I finally decided that I was going to learn all I could about insurance policies so that I would understand exactly what I was buying. Now, I am completely satisfied with my insurance and the coverage is just what I need. I realized that there are others who are probably just as confused as I was, so I am writing this blog to help others get the best insurance for their needs and budget. I hope that my blog gives you the information you need to make the right choices when purchasing insurance.

What You Shouldn't Believe About Flood Insurance
Anthony Rhodes
Floods can have devastating effects on homes. They can cause thousands of dollars in damage and a lot of stress. Even though floods are one of the most common types of natural disasters, many people still do not have flood insurance. It is widely misunderstood.
Here are a few common myths about flood insurance that you should not believe.
Home Insurance Covers Flood Damage
This is one of the most common misconceptions about flood insurance. Many people assume that their home insurance policy will pay for flood damage and end up disappointed. You actually have to purchase a separate flood insurance policy. If you think that you may want to buy a flood insurance policy, you should speak to your insurance agent soon.
Flood Disaster Assistance Will Cover Flood Damage
Some people may rely on flood disaster assistance to help them pay for flood damage. Unfortunately, however, it is not available all the time. If assistance is available, it still might not cover all the costs associated with the flood damage.
Flood Insurance Is Just Needed in High-Risk Areas
It is true that some areas of the country have a higher risk of flooding than others. However, every area has a risk of flooding, even if that risk is low. Therefore, if you live in a low-risk area, you may still want to think about purchasing flood insurance for your own peace of mind.
Flood Insurance Will Pay for All Repairs
False. Like other insurance policies, flood insurance has limits. It will only pay up to a certain dollar amount in damages. It is also important to note that flood insurance will not pay for damages outside of your house, such as swimming pools, fences, and patios.
Flood Insurance Is Too Expensive
Some homeowners are reluctant to buy flood insurance because they think they can't afford it. However, policies are more affordable than you may think. An insurance agent may be able to help you find a policy that aligns with your budget. In addition, paying for flood insurance each month is a lot cheaper than paying to repair flood damage out of your own pocket.
As you can see, there are a lot of different myths about flood insurance. If you are thinking about buying flood insurance, you should make an appointment with an insurance agent as soon as possible. He or she can talk to you about all of your options.
