Call (503) 342-2422Frequently Asked Questions
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding in Oregon?
No. Flood damage is excluded from every standard homeowners policy. Flood coverage requires a separate policy through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private flood insurer.
Is there a waiting period for flood insurance?
Yes. NFIP flood policies generally carry a 30-day waiting period before coverage takes effect. That means flood insurance cannot be purchased once a storm is already forecast — it has to be in place well before it is needed.
Do I need flood insurance if I am not in a flood zone?
Possibly. A significant share of flood claims come from properties outside high-risk flood zones, and being outside a mapped zone does not mean water cannot reach your home. Only a few inches of water can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage.
Does flood insurance cover landslides?
Generally no. Landslide and earth movement are typically excluded from both standard homeowners policies and NFIP flood policies, and may require separate coverage. This is worth reviewing in Oregon, where hillside terrain makes earth movement a real exposure.
