If you're concerned about property damaged by flooding or high waves, the National Flood Insurance Program has helpful information on:
Preventing flooding around your home
Sandbagging
Pumping out a flooded basement
Protecting your home from back flow
Cleaning up and drying out your home
Unfortunately, if your home, business or property is damaged by increased waves or flooding, your typical homeowner's policy or commercial policy most likely will not cover it. You must have a flood insurance policy from the National Flood Insurance Program
