    All homeowner's policies exclude flood insurance. A separate policy must be purchased (which is a flood policy.) You can contact a local independent agent who can provide a quote for you. They should be able to provide a quote using your home address. Good luck. 

    Best,

    No homeowners insurance will cover flood. This is not to be mistaken with water damage that may occur from a broken pipe in the home or possible overflow from a dishwasher or washing machine. These type of things will be covered if you have a special form HO3 policy. But an actual flood caused by rising water is always excluded and you would need to purchase a flood policy.

    Flood damage is a standard exclusion found in all Homeowners policies.  Unlike coverage for earth movement, or some limited coverage for water damage caused by  the backup or failure of a sewer or drain system,which can be endorsed into the policy, the only way to obtain comprehensive coverage for flood damage is by purchasing a separate Flood Insurance policy.
