National Flood Safety Awareness Week

THURSDAY: FLOOD INSURANCE

In an area at risk for floods, there is a 26 percent chance that a flood will occur during the course of a 30-year mortgage, compared to only a nine percent chance of a fire! The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is designed to help protect communities from flood damage, and also provide people with flood insurance.

􀂃 Learn more about NFIP and your flood risk at
