Flood Insurance in Mississippi
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 Mississippi
Mississippi runs the full length of a hurricane corridor into one of the most tornado-prone regions in the country, and the coastal counties rely on the Windstorm Underwriting Association for wind. Fire protection class varies enormously between incorporated towns and unincorporated county land, and it moves homeowners premium more than almost any other rating factor in the state.

How to choose an insurance agent
Anyone can quote you a price. The differences that matter are who the agent represents, how they are paid, and what they write down.
