FloodFactor estimates that nearly 90 properties in Loogootee have a high risk of experiencing flood damage. And, according to FEMA, just one inch of rainwater in your house can cause as much as $25,000 in damage. That is why having a flood insurance policy can prove quite beneficial.

Affordable flood insurance policies are available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). These insurance policies take 30 days to go into effect so don't wait until heavy rains are imminent to purchase your coverage.
