Flood Insurance in Colorado
Flood is excluded from every standard homeowners policy. Coverage comes from the NFIP or a private flood carrier, and most policies carry a waiting period.
What is different in Colorado

Wildfire appetite in the foothills and mountain communities has tightened, and Colorado has stood up a FAIR plan in response.
