Flood Insurance
Flood insurance covers losses to your property when it is affected by "excess water" on property that is normally dry. That is the general definition. You do not have to live in a Gulf state to be at risk.

Common Questions
Why buy flood insurance?
Flood insurance is required if your property is in a high-risk zone and you have a home loan from a federally-regulated lender (most banks).
You will also need flood insurance if your lender tells you that your property has been re-zoned as a high-risk area.
