A standard homeowner's policy does not include flood Insurance.
You cannot depend on disaster assistance from the government. Monies available are for those that the president declares a disaster. Less than 50% are declared a disaster, therefore most people are on their own. It is much cheaper to buy a policy than it is to re-pay the government for the assistance.
20-25% of claims come from the Lower risk areas- Flood Zones A or X.
