NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE GUIDE

Did you know that floods are the #1 natural hazard in the United States, occurring in all fifty states, and that homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover flood damage? Order the National Flood Insurance Guide to find out what flood insurance backed by the federal government covers and how much coverage is available. Flood insurance averages about $1 per day, and there’s usually a 30-day waiting period before your coverage is effective. Be sure to protect your home before disaster strikes by ordering the free National Flood Insurance Guide from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Send your name and address to the Federal Citizen Information Center, Dept. 589T, Pueblo, CO 81009. Or call toll-free 1 (888) 8 PUEBLO, that’s 1 (888) 878-3256, and ask for Item 589T. And visit www.pueblo.gsa.gov to read or print this and hundreds of other FCIC publications for free.
