You can also opt to just buy one and not the other (e.g. Call you insurance agent right away: Of course, you can always adjust the policy limits on your flood insurance according to the value of your home and private possessions, but the average policy covers $250,000 worth of damage to a home or condo, with another $100,000 for the contents in the home.Such a heavy financial burden can easily cause a business owner to declare bankruptcy or a homeowner to lose all their life’s savings replacing all that was lost. You do not want to be caught off-guard and stuck with 100% of your own costs. Unfortunately, many of these claims were never paid out because people only found out after the flood that their possessions and property weren’t covered by homeowners insurance. In 2005, during Hurricane Katrina, $16.2 billion worth of insurance claims were filed. However, each year, flooding costs people in this country billions of dollars! Only one out of 10 homeowners and business owners has a flood insurance policy, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Note that unlike other insurance products, all flood insurance is written under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) so there is always a 30-day waiting period from the time you sign your policy and when it takes effect.Įven if you’ve never experienced a flood in your home and neighborhood, don’t count out the possibility of it happening one day, especially if you live in a coastal region.

What to do? Make Sure You’re Covered Before a Flood: Natural events are exclusions, but most floods are a direct result of such occurrences. Neither will overflow from rivers, ponds, lakes and streams.

However, floods caused by natural disasters, like thunderstorms, hurricanes or melting snow and ice, won’t be covered. If you have certain types of water damage in your home, like burst pipes and ruptured water heaters your homeowner’s and renter’s insurance will cover the costs. Taking care of recouping losses after a flood is not as simple as having renters or homeowners insurance, which will not cover the costs of rebuilding your home and your life. Where do we start? Hopefully, you’ve started thinking about this dilemma before the flood comes. There’s so much to take care of afterwards. For many of us, however, a flood may not only devastate us but leave us confused. They have learned the hard way that being prepared for such a natural disaster is very important. So, my fellow survivors.Some people live in areas where floods are a common disaster. Any information i could find is from about 2 years ago and probably outdated by now. There really aren't any guides out there and only the odd youtube video. The Fandom wiki is slightly better but still barren on any information. The official wiki barely has any content. The 'tutorial' is nothing more than a few popup messages that tell you to do something, but don't explain any game mechanics. My problem is the complete lack of information. I'm aware this is a survival game and losing a colony is all part of the game. Now, the constant restarting isn't the issue. Restarted again, and around day 50 people started leaving due to a lack of happiness, this started a chain reaction of missing workers and carriers. Then a heatwave hit and my flimsy house of cards collapsed due to a lack of water. So I restarted and made it all the way to day 20. Needless to say, my first colony was a disaster, things went south even before i got the gates build. I got the game yesterday including the DLC's and played it for a bit.
