This will affect many homeowners AND businesses. What are the chances of these people getting affordable flood insurance?
I am not an insurance agent, but I did get a quote for flood insurance last week and it was more affordable than I expected. On one of the flood posts, there is contact info. for four local agents. I suggest you try one of them to get a quote. It should be free and the agent can give you a better idea of what’s covered and what the actual risk is in Kent. You might also consider attending the flood seminar at ShoWare later this month. Check the iLoveKent.net calendar page for more details.
