In BR. flood X. Luckily our entire neighbor hood was high and dry but this incident got me rattled.

Reputable company/ person I should contact? Average annual policy to expect on 500K home? Any fine print to look out for? TIA

max policy: 250k building; 100k contents $450 total, they all the same.

I think it is all underwritten by the Feds. Your homeowners should be able to help you with getting it.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Doesn't matter who you're agent is. If quoted properly it's the same premium with anyone since it's the NFIP program. You would need an excess policy since max coverage is 250k for building, 100k for contents.

Do understand that water has to rise, rushing water is not covered by flood insurance.

All are underwritten through NFIP (National flood insurance program). All policies are the same. Go with the carrier that writes your home or autos. If your homeowner insurance company doesn't participate find a local agent with a company with good service ratings.

Every company has the same rates for flood.

Agent doesn't matter, they just sign you up. Everything is handled by the Feds.
