Jeannie O'Donoghue spoke about flood insurance. Jeannie works for her family's insurance company - O'Donoghue Insurance. The company offers car, home, boat, commercial and flood insurance. Anyone is eligible to purchase flood insurance. Regular home owners insurance does not cover damage from a flood. The usual coverage for the insurance is $250,000. Fema writes all flood insurance policies. The policy covers heaters, water heaters and customary equipment in the basement. It does not cover furniture and carpeting in the basement but does cover such items on the ground floor of a residence. Please call Jeannie if you have any questions regarding flood or any other type of insurance.
