The decision to buy flood insurance should not be based on a line on a map—where it can rain, it can flood. In fact, 81 percent of owners of Hurricane-Harvey damaged property outside high-risk flood areas did not have flood insurance. WFDD, working alongside residents to repair our community, recognizes that rebuilding is as much about collective resiliency as it is a reminder to always be prepared for the unexpected.

• In a high-risk area or not, you may need flood insurance because most homeowners/renters insurance doesn’t cover flood damage.
• Just one inch of water in an average home can cost more than $25,000 in damage.
• WFDD residents are eligible to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
• For many, a NFIP flood insurance policy costs $450 or less per year.
• Don’t wait to protect what you’ve built, NFIP flood insurance can take up to 30 days to go into effect.
