Flood Insurance

Nuts & Bolts:
The private client group of American International Group has a product that adds flood coverage to certain homeowners’ policies. This move is aimed at properties located in low- to moderate-risk areas the government-designated B, C and X flood zones and is being launched initially in Colorado, Illinois and Massachusetts. Included in the coverage is payment for damage to basement finishes and settlement for losses on a replacement cost basis, and the new program allows for reimbursement of additional living expenses and responds to a single-location event. It will respond to damage caused by overflow of inland or tidal waters, unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source and mudflow.
