I believe it is a 30 day waiting period. There are two exceptions to that 30 day period that I know of. One is if you just purchased the home and it IS required to carry it or your area has just put into a flood plain.My dad put flood insurance on his house last year. It is a 30 day waiting period. The cost depends on what level of the floodplain your house is on I believe.

Just for the sake of knowing, what is the 'on/off 30 day insurance' bit cost (roughly) $500? $5000?
I understand depending on the homes value and location makes a difference, but I am curious if it is typically 'affordable' for the average middle class family, or something that is a 'major expense'?

Jason, you are in West Port Beach right? IMO you will be fine, the diversion is fail safe to the west of you. No one out in this area even bothered sandbagging their lots last year as a whole shitload of things woulda had to go wrong (like everything...think needing an ark and 2 of each animal) before our section of town would have went under.

I was left feeling like they were either a) idiots (maybe harsh, but you live by the river, but wait til the LAST minute for insurance), or b) waiting for the last minute because it is a MAJOR expense that is difficult to have unless immediately necessary
Not looking to dig into anyone personal finances, just looking to see if it is uber expensive....

“We’ve got more lead time, but it’s always difficult to plan for an event with a 10 percent or a 2 percent chance of occurring,” Zavoral said.
Of course, last year’s flood was a 2 percent event, and this year’s conditions appear to mirror what led to that event, he said."

I think its 90 days for it to go into effect isn't it? Too late to really look at insurance now IMO.I'm back to pricing out enclosed trailers. Might be the excuse I need to get it past the loan officer at my bank.
Like I said on the phone, if you need the 25' trailer let me know...
