The Floods of Northern California

January 7, 2006 by Jonathan Stein

The flood waters of this year have subsided – for now. However, flood insurance is still on everyone’s mind. Let me first give you some links to stories you should read:

  • The SF Chronicle reports on problems small businesses are having in getting their claims moving.
  • KXTV in Sacramento reports on people trying to get flood insurance now that they have seen the damage caused.
  • UPN 31 in Sacramento has a short story on repair tips.
  • The SF Chronicle has an editorial on the need for California to prepare for worse storms.
  • Finally, the Fresno Bee has a story on flooding in Fresno (I didn’t even know it flooded there until I read the story!) and the lack of people in the Central Valley who have flood insurance.

Some other things to remember about flood insurance:

  • There is a 30 day waiting period before it goes into effect.
  • You MUST obtain flood insurance in certain areas. Ask if you are in one of those areas if you are buying a new house.
  • There are limits on what is covered. Read your policy carefully.
  • Make sure you are buying flood insurance from the NFIP – National Flood Insurance Program. I expect con artists to try to sell fake flood policies soon.

These tips should help you when the next rains come, and they will come soon!
