Texas, like other Gulf Coast states, is prone to tropical storms. In the aftermath of torrential rain and flooding in the state this week and heading into hurricane season, Houston risk management firm Pasadena Insurance Agency issues a reminder about flood insurance.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 31, 2013
Just this week, massive floods from heavy rains in the San Antonio area resulted in one death, forced more than 200 rescues by emergency workers and caused damage to homes and businesses.
In 2012, Texas was the state with the third highest amount of direct flood damages—topped only by Louisiana and Minnesota, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Flooding is the most familiar and frequent natural disaster in Texas while hurricanes and tropical storms have historically caused billions of dollars in flood damage to Texas homes and businesses.
Direct flood damage can cause damage to private property, including structural damage and lost agriculture as well as public infrastructure and facilities.
“Most homeowners insurance does not cover floods and there is typically a 30-day wait before a policy becomes effective. If you already have a flood policy, remember it needs to be renewed each year,” said Pasadena Insurance President Frank Karkowsky. “All it takes is a few inches of water to cause major damage to your home or business.”
The insurance professionals at Houston’s leading risk management firm, Pasadena Insurance Agency, have decades of experience with flood insurance policies and homeowner’s insurance and will ensure home and business owners are prepared—and covered.
