Who Needs Flood Insurance:

1. Homeowners living in areas prone to flooding should strongly consider having flood insurance. This includes properties located near bodies of water, in coastal areas, or in regions with high rainfalls.
2. Business owners, especially those operating in flood-prone regions, should also obtain flood insurance coverage. This includes businesses located in flood zones or areas susceptible to heavy rains or hurricanes.
3. Renters should also consider obtaining flood insurance for their personal belongings. While the landlord's insurance may cover the building's structure, it might not provide coverage for the tenant's possessions in case of a flood.
4. Even if a property is not located in a high-risk flood zone, it does not guarantee safety from flooding. Therefore, homeowners and business owners across all regions should assess their flood risk and consider acquiring flood insurance if needed.
5. Additionally, individuals who have taken out a mortgage or loan on a property located in a government-mapped flood zone may be required by their lender to carry flood insurance.

Remember, individual circumstances and risk levels may vary, so consulting with an insurance professional is important to determine the specific need for flood insurance.
