   The most common type of homeowner’s policy is called, “all-risk.”  Within the policy, however, there are significant exclusions, flood and earthquake being the most important.  25% of the losses in the US are flood related.  The flood risk is so great a federal program was established to assist writing this coverage.  A broker or agent should be able to give you a quote.  Prices vary greatly depending upon the risk.  Some homes are more vulnerable than others.
