Six coverage layers—plus the details that change the outcome
Dwelling, other structures, personal property, loss of use, liability, and medical payments are a useful map. The policy form, limits, settlement method, deductibles, exclusions, and endorsements determine how that map applies.

Location changes the questions
Use state and flood sources without pretending they are a personal quote
State regulation, catastrophe exposure, residual markets, and carrier availability can differ. FEMA maps identify official flood-hazard information, but no map or state average can replace the actual property details and written quote.

What to trust when sources disagree
Your issued policy and endorsements control coverage. Use the insurer for form-specific questions, the state department for regulation and complaints, and federal sources for official flood and mortgage guidance.
