Can you get flood insurance in Florida?

Despite the memes. Floridians aren't stupid. Huge sections the state are built to resist hurricanes and a ridiculous amount of canals have been built to redirect stormwater away from homes.

Ever since hurricane Andrews leveled South Florida in 1992 we've changed how we build homes specially to survive up to category 3 storms. We have some of the best building codes in the country.

Also in Florida yes you can definitely get flood insurance assuming your house is not built in a flood zone and in all our insurance policies hurricane damage is specifically in a separate section.
