Flood Insurance in Georgia
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 Georgia
Georgia spans a coastal hurricane zone, a hail-exposed north, and a dense metro Atlanta market where water damage and roof claims dominate frequency. Georgia's uninsured motorist statute allows both reducing and adding-on UM structures, and the difference materially changes what a client actually recovers — it should be explained, not defaulted.
