Recently Gov. Malloy encouraged Connecticut residents to consider flood insurance to protect their property from the potential damages that may occur from the melting snow pack from the numerous winter storms we’ve been experiencing.

Here’s what the Governor had to say:

“There is simply nowhere for this record snow to go and homeowners across Connecticut are understandably anxious about what will happen to their basements, garages and other structures once it starts melting,” Governor Malloy said.

“It would be devastating to find out after the flooding that losses are not covered. Given the 30-day waiting period for flood insurance, I urge anyone interested to begin making plans now to buy it. January was the snowiest month on record in Connecticut, and little – if any – of the snowpack has melted so far,” Governor Malloy said.

The Federal Government requires a 30 day waiting period before coverage goes into effect, so the sooner you investigate whether flood insurance makes sense for you the better.  You can learn more on our research page on our website HaasAgency.com.
