Flood Insurance
Flooding is the most common form of natural disaster in the US. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), about a quarter of floods in the US occur outside of high-risk zones, so it’s always important to have coverage; no one is safe from this type of disaster. South Carolina has many flood zones, as determined by FEMA, all with varying risk levels. Your home does not need to be in close proximity to a body of water to flood.
Getting Flood Insurance in South Carolina
