As the spring flood has moved into Louisiana, we would like to communicate some important information regarding the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
With flood coverage, the NFIP may reimburse residents up to $1,000 for preventative measures taken such as sandbags, supplies and labor for property removed to safety. Insured property must be stored in a fully enclosed building and is covered for 45 consecutive days from the date it began being moved there. Residents should keep all receipts in order to receive reimbursement and submit them to their claims adjuster. In preparation of filing a flood insurance claim, residents should have their insurance policy, inventory of their contents, all receipts and photos of damaged items (if possible).
Please feel free to contact our office at 337-266-2150 if you should have any flood questions or any other insurance related questions. We hope everyone stays safe and we are here to assist you if you need us.
