A flood warning map is a tool used by the National Weather Service to show which areas are at risk for flooding during severe weather. These areas are color-coded according to the level of risk. The different types of flooding are flash, coastal and small stream. Like storms, they are classified as watches and warnings.
All areas are prone to flooding, no matter the level of risk. So, it's important to purchase flood insurance to protect your property. It could cost you thousands of dollars in repairs alone without flood insurance. If you rent, you should also purchase flood insurance for your contents. At Holt Flood Insurance, we can help you with all of your flood insurance needs. Including finding the right insurance for your situation.
When it comes to the flood warning map, there is a difference between a watch and a warning. A watch is when the weather conditions are favorable for flooding. And a warning is when flooding is already happening. You should always be prepared whenever a watch or a warning is issued. This includes preparing emergency kits and overnight bags if you need to evacuate and never get too close to a body of water.

We contacted Mr. Holt for an estimate via email over the weekend prior to a closing on a property, hoping for a response on the following Monday to take with us with confidence in being insured at the settlement table on a Tuesday. He exceeded our expectations not once but in readily responding to the initial request and then to follow-up questions all during the weekend frenzy that occurs before closing. "Impressive and responsive customer service," for sure! Ken Reuwer I have known Tim for many years and he is a man with great integrity, work ethic and one of the nicest persons I know. Over the years Tim has provided insurance counseling and advice to our company, for myself personally, as well as to our clients. Recently Tim, took time to analyze our flood insurance policy and he was able to make some excellent recommendations. Our flood insurance costs are now less and we have much better coverage. I recommend Tim to anyone without hesitation or reservation. Edward Semambya, CPA I have no problem giving you an A1 reference for taking care of the flood policies for me and Diane. I appreciate you working with the mortgage company: the surveyor and our previous agent. The result was a 75% reduction in our flood insurance premiums! Mike Edwards
