Insurance Guidelines/Resources for Those Affected by Floods

Consumer Advisory: July 16, 2023
Insurance Guidelines/Resources for Those Affected by Floods
Montpelier, VT – The Vermont Department of Financial Regulation provides the
following important flood insurance resources for those impacted by the flood.

  • For individuals or businesses with flood insurance, the first step is to determine
    if your coverage is provided by a private insurer or through the National Flood
    Insurance Program (NFIP). Check your policy or contact your agent if you are
    unsure.
  • If you are covered by the NFIP, please see this site to file a claim.
  • If you are covered by private flood insurance, contact your agent or the
    insurance company to file a claim.
  • For individuals or businesses without flood insurance, please be aware that most
    Homeowners and Commercial Property policies do not provide coverage for
    losses due to flooding. However, you should contact your agent or insurance
    company to verify your coverage. You should also file a claim as you will likely
    need a denial from your insurer to apply for federal disaster assistance. For
    information on disaster assistance, please refer to FEMA FloodSmart.gov.
  • If your vehicle sustained storm or water damage, coverage may be available
    through your auto insurance policy. Please contact your agent or insurer to
    report the loss.
  • For information on documenting damage and clean up, please see this FEMA
    site.
  • For information on mold remediation after flooding, please refer to this EPA
    webpage.
  • For information on health concerns, please visit the VT Department of Health.
