Ryan Byrd, Account Manager at B.F. Saul Insurance, shares some important insights on the impact of Hurricanes Helene & Milton and what they reveal about flood risk and insurance coverage: 🌊 Rethinking Flood Exposure: These storms highlight the imperfections of flood maps. With only 1-4% of homeowners carrying flood insurance, many are falsely reassured that they’re outside of high-risk zones. Climate change and evolving data suggest that many areas, particularly riverine basins in the Appalachians, may be at higher flood risk than previously thought. ⏲️ Lead Time Is Crucial: Pre-saturated soils and rivers reaching capacity ahead of a storm’s direct impact mean more residential areas are vulnerable to flooding. 🗺️ Topography Matters: Hilly and mountainous regions face added risks. Water flows downhill, and mountains can increase precipitation through orographic lifting, exacerbating flood risks. 🗣️ Advisory is Key: Advisors must emphasize that standard homeowners' policies exclude flood coverage. If it can rain where you live, it can flood. As these events become more frequent, staying informed about evolving flood risks and ensuring proper coverage is essential. 💬 Want to make sure you're covered?

As devastating storms like hurricanes Milton and Helene batter the US East Coast, insurance companies and homeowners face mounting challenges. In a recent InsuranceNewsNet article, B.F. Saul Insurance President Lanie Raphael highlights the growing need for changes in building codes, zoning regulations, and architectural designs to address the insurance crisis. She emphasizes that many insurers are turning to the "non-admitted market" to stabilize coverage options for high-risk areas. Lanie also urges homeowners to educate themselves about their policies, noting that consumers often don’t realize they aren’t covered for flood damage with a standard policy.
