Inland flooding is no longer just a coastal issue. As severe storms and heavy rains impact communities farther from shore, many homeowners are left exposed without adequate flood coverage. Recent events, such as Hurricane Helene’s devastation across the Southeast and Appalachian regions, have shown the overwhelming toll floods can take on areas previously thought safe. Yet, a widespread misconception persists: many believe their standard homeowners' policy covers flood damage, which is typically not the case.
