Selective Insurance: Your Flood Market of Choice.

Floods are the most common natural disaster and they can happen even in low-risk zones. The cost of flood damage to homes, commercial buildings, and the contents inside those structures can quickly add up and is typically not covered by personal or commercial insurance policies. 

Through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), Selective offers building and content coverage for both homes and businesses in all 50 states.
