Even if you are not required to have a flood insurance policy in place, it is a good idea to have one since most homeowner&rsquo;s insurance policies do not automatically include flooding as a coverage option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flood Insurance Policy Coverages<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can obtain a flood insurance policy whether you live in a flood plain or not, and you can obtain a policy through your insurance agent in conjunction with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This program will provide up to $250,000 for your home and up to $100,000 for your personal property that is inside your home. For example, if your home is a total loss due to flooding, you will have enough money to relocate to a different house or rebuild your home and replace all of the contents inside your house before the flooding occurred.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not Covered By Flood Insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have precious metals, expensive jewelry, stocks, bonds, and even cash in your home, a flood insurance policy will not cover those. You can keep those at another location in case a flood occurs for safekeeping. Many outdoor items, such as trees, landscaping items, walkways, and even decks and swimming pools, are not covered by flood insurance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact an Experienced Agent<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To create the best flood insurance policy for you and your home, contact the agents Dirus &amp; Sons in Neptune, NJ by calling or emailing for an appointment today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Residents of New Jersey experienced major flooding from a hurricane a few years ago, and at any time, a flash flood can occur.
