Are my policy limits adequate to replace the home if it becomes necessary?
You need enough insurance to cover the cost of rebuilding your home at current construction costs and building codes. Don’t include the cost of the land. Check the value of your insurance policy against rising local building cost EACH YEAR. Advise your insurer and increase the limits of your policy if you make improvements or additions to your house.
Do I have federal flood insurance?
Standard homeowner’s policies do not cover damage from floods, including storm surge from a hurricane. Insurance for flooding and storm surge is available from the National Flood Insurance Program. Information should be available through the agent handling your regular homeowner’s policy, but is also available from the National Flood Insurance Program or by calling 1-888-379-9531. Remember, there is a 30 day waiting period for flood insurance to go into effect. Don’t wait until a storm is threatening!

Are my personal possessions covered?
Most homeowner’s insurance policies provide coverage for your personal possessions in amounts approximation 50% to 70% of the amount of the insurance you have on the main structure or “dwelling”. The limits of the policy typically appear on the Declarations Page under Section I, Coverage C. Contents. To determine if this is enough coverage, you need to conduct a home inventory and talk with your agent.
Do I have replacement cost or actual cash value coverage for my possessions?
You can insure your possessions in two ways. You can either insure your belongings for their actual cash value or their replacement cost. A cash value policy pays the cost to replace your belongings minus depreciation. A replacement cost policy, on the other hand, reimburses you for the cost to replace the item.
