Flood Insurance in Scituate, Massachusetts

 

If your home or business is located in what the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designates a “high-risk” flood zone, you are required to carry Flood Insurance in Scituate, Massachusetts. Generally, FEMA designates any place with a 1% or higher chance of experiencing a flood each year a high risk. Those areas have at least a one-in-four chance of flooding during a 30-year mortgage. While there’s no such thing as a “no-risk zone,” some areas have lower or moderate risk.

Because floods can happen anywhere, McSweeney & Ricci recommends adding flood insurance to your insurance program whether you live in a flood zone or not.  Anywhere it rains, it can flood. In fact, more than 20% of flood claims made to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are reported by people in zones not considered “high-risk.”
