Flood insurance: The time to buy is while it’s dry

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Until it happens to them, most people don’t realize that even an inch or two of water can cause thousands of dollars in damage. During the recent floods in Missouri, thousands experienced the trauma of flooded homes and businesses. The toll not only includes the heartbreak of losing precious possessions, but financial hardship, especially for those who don’t have flood insurance.

Spring, when flooding is typically most severe, has arrived. But you can still purchase a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policy to protect your home and its contents or your business. Remember – there is a 30-day waiting period before a policy takes effect.

Homeowners’ insurance doesn’t cover flood damage, but the NFIP does. Funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), NFIP makes flood insurance available for communities that participate in the program, regardless of whether the area is high, low, or medium risk. NFIP carries a maximum coverage of $250,000 for homes and $100,000 for contents. Business coverage is a maximum of $500,000 for building and $500,000 for contents.

Many Missouri residents decided to buy flood insurance to protect against the risk of flooding. The amount of claims paid to homeowners and renters with flood insurance is more than double the amount of FEMA grants and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loans in several counties designated for federal assistance for damages from the recent flooding:

In Taney County, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) paid policyholders more than $4.2 million in claims. Comparably, FEMA and SBA paid a total of $416,724 in grants and loans.
In St. Louis County, NFIP paid policyholders more than $14.3 million in claims, while loans and grants to St. Louis County residents totaled more than $6.8 million.
In Phelps County, NFIP paid nearly $1.9 million to policyholders while FEMA and SBA assistance was $254,254.

FEMA Individual Assistance can pay for losses not covered by insurance such as temporary rental assistance. Flood insurance can potentially provide your family with much more money – up to $350,000 – after a flood.

It’s also important to remember that NFIP insurance covers flood damage regardless of where there is a federal disaster declaration. That is another benefit of being covered by insurance.

To learn more about any property’s flood risk, estimate an NFIP premium or locate an insurance agent who sells flood insurance, log on to www.floodsmart.gov. For flood information and safety tips visit www.ready.gov/floods. Find the Spanish-language web site at www.listo.gov.

Flood insurance: The time to buy is while it’s dry

Keep Your Options Open by Submitting an SBA Application Today

Keep Your Options Open by Submitting an SBA Application Today

JACKSON, Miss. – Mississippi storm and flood survivors who received a U.S. Small Business Administration loan application should keep their options open by completing the application and submitting it on or before May 24, 2016.

Residents in all 16 disaster designated counties who received damage to their homes or businesses as a result of the storms and flooding that began March 9 may be eligible for loans up to $200,000 for homeowners and up to $2 million for businesses of all sizes and private non-profit organizations. Homeowners and renters also may be eligible for up to $40,000 to repair or replace personal property.

While SBA’s up to 30-year low-interest disaster loans represent the major source of federal funding for recovery, the application itself may open the door to other FEMA grant programs. People who do not qualify for an SBA loan may be eligible for other FEMA grants.

Here are some key points to consider:

Completing and returning a loan application can be done in one of three ways: in person at a Disaster Recovery Center, online at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela or by mail.
Filing the loan application does not obligate people to accept the loan and there is no cost to apply for an SBA loan.
Homeowners may be eligible for loans with interest rates as low as 1.813 percent for repair or replacement of their primary residences. In some instances, SBA can refinance all or part of an existing mortgage. Interest rates for business loans may be as low as 4 percent.
Eligible small businesses and non-profits can also apply for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) for up to $2 million to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. The deadline for applying for EIDL is Dec. 27, 2016.
Do not wait for an insurance settlement before applying. Insurance may not pay for all of the damage. Survivors can begin their recovery immediately with an SBA disaster loan. The eligible loan amount will be reduced by any insurance settlements.

For more information about SBA low-interest disaster loans, contact the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955, or TTY 800-877-8339, email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov or at www.sba.gov/disaster. SBA customer service representatives are available at all disaster recovery centers. Centers can be found online at www.FEMA.gov/DRClocator.

Individuals and businesses in the designated counties can begin the disaster assistance process by registering online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 800-621-3362; TTY 800-462-7585; 711 Video Relay Service (VRS), call 800-621-3362. Helpline hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time, seven days a week until further notice.
