Flood Insurance
It only takes a few inches of standing water to cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage — and homeowners insurance does not cover it.
What Is Flood Insurance?
When most people think of a flood, they picture a hurricane. In reality, most floods are caused by far less catastrophic situations — in Oklahoma, that's usually a slow-moving spring storm dropping inches of rain in an afternoon. Here's what surprises people: every single house in the entire country is in a FEMA flood zone; some zones are just worse than others. Flood insurance must be purchased as a separate, stand-alone policy — it is not covered by homeowners insurance — and in most situations there's a 30-day waiting period before coverage takes effect, so don't wait until the water's rising.
Why Flood Insurance Matters
Flood damage is the most common catastrophic exclusion homeowners discover after the fact, and by then it's too late. If you live in certain flood zones, your mortgage company may require a policy; outside high-risk zones it's optional — but optional isn't the same as unnecessary. Flood policies even reimburse you for the work you and your family did sandbagging, moving furniture, and removing debris.
Who Needs Flood Insurance?
Homeowners in mapped flood zones, anyone near a creek or low-lying area, and honestly anyone who wants the one gap in their homeowners policy closed. Renters and landlords can buy contents-only or building-only flood coverage too.

Local Considerations
Norman and the OKC metro see intense spring rainfall, and drainage areas along the Canadian River and local creeks can back up fast. Nationally, a 2023 Triple-I/Munich Re survey found 22% of homeowners reported being at risk of flood — and of those, 78% purchased flood insurance; the people who understand their risk act on it. We'll pull your property's flood zone, walk you through NFIP and private market options, and do all the leg work — remember the 30-day waiting period means the time to decide is before storm season.
