Where it can rain, it can flood.
What happened
FEMA said flood insurance can now be bought online through the National Flood Insurance Program. The insurance is meant to protect homes and property from flood losses.
What it means for you: If you live in a flood-prone area, check whether you have flood cover, as standard home insurance often does not include floods.
