Flood insurance is available from the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program). You can purchase it directly from the NFIP or you can purchase it through approved agents. Beyond that, other companies offer flood insurance not backed by the NFIP. Two different types of policies are offered. The first type of insurance is building insurance and the second type is content. The NFIP insurance has limits on coverage, if you need more coverage than they offer, you can go with an insurance company providing that coverage.
