Flood Insurance in Louisiana
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 Louisiana
Louisiana carries one of the lowest bodily injury minimums in the country alongside some of the highest property premiums. After the 2020–2021 storm seasons several carriers became insolvent and Louisiana Citizens grew substantially; named-storm deductibles, roof age restrictions, and separate flood placement are all standard parts of a Louisiana property conversation.
