SUMMARY: Hurricane season‘s peak is over a month away, but homeowners should act quickly to secure flood insurance before it’s too late. Coverage can take weeks to activate, and a moratorium on new policies may be imposed if a hurricane approaches. Homeowners insurance typically does not cover weather-related floods; it only handles internal water issues. Flood insurance protects against external water sources, such as heavy rain or hurricanes. Renters can also obtain coverage for their belongings. Although flood insurance can be costly, FEMA offers affordable options on its website. More details can be found at floodsmart.gov.

The peak of hurricane season is over a month away, and time may be running out for those who want to be protected before the hurricane comes.
