FLOOD CLAIMS
If you have suffered flood losses as a result of Hurricane Irene, you must file a Proof of Loss, with supporting documentation, for the full amount you are claiming within 60 days from the date of the loss unless the deadline is extended by FEMA. As of September 4, 2011, FEMA has not granted an extension. Under the terms of your flood insurance policy, if you do not file a timely proof of loss, your claim may be barred. Seek legal advice now to determine whether you can still pursue your claim.
IMPORTANT UPDATE!
On September 14, 2011, FEMA granted a 30 day extension of the Proof of Loss deadline. For more details, click here.

MYTHS AND FACTS
Flood insurance is invaluable to those living in flood prone areas. Many are confused about the availability, cost and coverage. Click here for myths and facts about floods and flood insurance.
Many flood insurance policyholders have heard or been told that no FEMA assistance is available to help pay for losses and that they must rely solely on their insurance policy. While insurance is the main source of funding to replace disaster losses, there may be additional costs that insurance does not cover for which FEMA assistance may be offered. Additionally, a low interest disaster loan may be available to cover expenses while an insurance claim is processed. Click here for more information.
