Sandbags can help protect your property from major damage, but sandbags will not seal out water, which is why it is important to make sure your property is financially covered.

Insurance

Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flooding. It is important to have protection from the floods associated with heavy rains here in San Diego County. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is available to property owners to financially protect themselves.

Understanding Your Flood Risk

FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center is the official public source for flood hazard information. There, you can find official flood maps and other resources to get a better understanding of your flood risk. 

Residents in recent wildfire burn areas should be aware of the increased potential for mud slides, debris flow, and severe flooding.  The San Diego County Adverse Weather Map displays the 100-year Floodplain, recent fire burn areas, and weather alerts.

How Much Would a Flood Cost?

It only takes a few inches of water to cause major damage to your home or business and its contents. Consult your insurance agent for more information.
