Recent Flooding Events and Changing Weather Patterns in Washington

In recent years, Washington state has experienced an increase in severe flooding events, likely exacerbated by changing weather patterns and climate change. Major flooding incidents like the record-breaking rainfall and subsequent flooding in November 2021, which impacted western Washington counties, serve as stark reminders of the state’s vulnerability to these natural disasters. The catastrophic damage caused by these events highlights the importance of being proactively prepared with adequate flood insurance coverage, even in areas that were previously considered low-risk.

The impacts of these recent flooding events have been significant across Washington. The November 2021 floods, triggered by an atmospheric river event, caused widespread damage across multiple counties, with an estimated 500 homes and businesses impacted in Whatcom County alone. In Lewis County, over 20 miles of roads and infrastructure sustained substantial damage, with repair costs projected to exceed $5 million.

Furthermore, preliminary assessments by FEMA indicate that the flooding may lead to the redrawing of flood maps for certain areas, potentially reclassifying some regions as higher-risk flood zones. These events underscore the dynamic nature of flood risks and the importance of regularly reassessing and updating flood preparedness measures, including adequate insurance coverage, to protect residents and property owners in Washington.

Does homeowner insurance cover flooding?

A typical Washington homeowners policy written through Farmers, State Farm, Allstate, and Progressive, for instance, exclude flooding as something that the policy covers under their homeowner’s policy.

In most cases, the only way to get flood coverage is by purchasing a stand-alone flood insurance policy. However, you should ask your homeowners agent if you can get an endorsement of your homeowner’s policy to cover flooding. Don’t be too surprised if the answer is NO.

FEMA Flood Maps

Do you Need flood insurance in Washington?

It is important to have flood insurance coverage in Washington because our beloved state has seen a fair share of flooding.

Most Homeowners who own property in Washington think about flood insurance at some point, maybe before buying a home or during the closing process, however, many of us only think about it when a big storm is looming or we have heard on the news that there is flooding forecasted. This time is too late.

If your home or business is in a flood zone that is considered a low flood-risk area, you are still at risk.

You may decide to forgo purchasing flood insurance coverage.

Your real estate agent and other insurance agents out of ignorance about the real risk might have told you-you didn’t need flood insurance because the property is in a non-lender-required flood zone.

Statistically, 20-percent of all flooding events across our nation come in areas that are considered low risk.

And our last few significant storms there was flooding in these low-risk areas an 90 percent of all those who had flood water in their home or building didn’t have flood insurance coverage.

washington state flood maps

We often hear that people believe that the government will help them, and this is true.

However, a few things must align for you to get government assistance.

1) the president of the united states must declare the flooding event as a state of emergency if this doesn’t happen, then there won’t be assistance.
2) the average amount of aid a homeowner gets after a flood when they do not have flood coverage is $5,000, the average cost of damage to one’s property after a flood is $38,000+, and that $5K you get from the government? It comes as a loan, and you will need to pay it back. Are you willing to gamble your financial future by forgoing flood insurance coverage?

One more note on these low-risk flood zone maps. Many of them are over 40+ years old.

If the area was developed, there is likely more concrete creating a barrier for land that might have absorbed the massive downpour.

Because of all these factors, it is tough for property owners to know their actual risk of flooding. FEMA admits that their flood maps only give an idea of part of the risk. Our recent storms are facts that it can rain anywhere within Washington’s borders, and you should consider getting flood coverage so you are not uninsured when you need it most.

Fema flood zone maps often take years to go into effect after the terrain was studied; this gives the impression that the area is “more up to date” than it is. 

The average cost for flood insurance in Washington in these Low-risk areas is $405 – $700 per year

FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and all federally backed lenders rely on these maps to assess risk, set premiums and determine who is required to purchase flood insurance.

Inadequate information about an area’s flood risk can leave property owners under or uninsured.

What are my flood insurance options in Washington?

washington flood map

Washington NFIP flood insurance.

There are many options available in Washington regarding flood insurance, but they fall into two main categories.

The Government option also called the NFIP, FEMA, or The Private flood insurance market.

The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), also known as FEMA, is the government option for flood insurance.  The NFIP has enjoyed a 50-state monopoly on the flood insurance market.

 
 

Not private flood insurance but NFIP Resellers

Suppose you have Nationwide flood insurance, State Farm Flood Insurance, Progressive Flood Insurance, or any of the logos below. In that case, you are buying the NFIP flood policy that has their logo on the declaration page and are just reselling through a government program. These companies are private companies, but their flood insurance is not. Here is a list of the 70 companies that resell the NFIP policy.

Washington private flood insurance market

There are alternatives to the NFIP or government insurance, and this is called Private flood insurance most notably Lloyds of London Flood insurance. However, there are other options available in Washington. We shop all the possibilities for your property in your region to ensure you are getting the best premium if you are ready to have us do the work for you click here.

Our shopping includes the NFIP because sometimes we find that you can get a much better premium with government subsidies.

Understanding Flood Risks in Washington State

Flooding in Washington state has been a persistent concern, with many areas prone to these natural disasters. The state’s diverse geography, from coastal regions to river basins and mountainous terrain, contributes to the flood risks faced by residents and property owners. Accurate flood maps and understanding localized flood patterns are crucial for assessing potential threats and implementing effective mitigation strategies.

Washington state flood maps, maintained by FEMA, play a vital role in identifying high-risk areas and informing flood insurance requirements. However, these maps are constantly evolving as new data becomes available and weather patterns shift. Property owners are encouraged to regularly check the latest flood maps for their area to ensure they have a comprehensive understanding of their flood risks and insurance needs. The average cost of flood insurance in Washington state can vary significantly based on factors such as location, elevation, and flood zone classification.

Lloyds of London flood Insurance Washington Market

Washington is fortunate to have many Lloyds of London flood insurance options. Although many flood insurance companies will have you assume that there is only one option, nothing could be further from the truth.

Lloyd’s of London has a rich history attributed to having invented the first modern insurance model. Unlike most of its competition, Lloyd’s of London is not a company but rather a corporate body; this structure works quite well since it has been around for over 330 years. Lloyd’s operates under multiple financial backers pooling their capital to spread the risk.

I have two blog post that takes a deep dive into Lloyd’s of London and what they mean to Washington’s flood insurance market if you are interested, the links are below.

Lloyd’s of London Flood Insurance

nfip vs private

Lloyd’s also ensures the world for flood insurance, meaning they cover flooding events in India, Australia as well as much of Europe, you see the “game” of insurance is to spread your risk. Since Lloyds is worldwide they can easily do this.

 
Flood Nerd loves to have fun

My joke here is that Lloyds is banking on God’s promise that he won’t flood the entire world again, …..so they won’t have to pay out the whole worlds flood claim.

Many factors go into getting the Cost of flood insurance for Washington if your home in what is considered a low-to-moderate risk.

Washington’s low-to a Moderate Risk rate and cost.
(This is Flood Zone X) which is not a lender-required flood zone.

This flood policy is usually identified as an X-flood zone then we would suggest the government Preferred Risk Policy (PRP) which is a subsidized policy and has set flood insurance coverage limits (see the grid below)

$250K (Residental) /$500K (commercial) Building

The average cost for flood insurance in Washington with the maximum set limits in these Low-risk flood zone areas is $405 – $700 per year

The average cost of flood insurance in Washington state can vary greatly depending on several factors. According to data from FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), the average annual premium for flood insurance in Washington is around $900. However, this figure can be significantly higher or lower based on the specific location and flood risk level of a property. For instance, homes in high-risk flood zones, such as those classified as Flood Zone AE or VE, can expect to pay substantially more for coverage, often exceeding $1,500 annually. Conversely, properties in low-to-moderate risk areas may qualify for the NFIP’s Preferred Risk Policy, which can cost as little as $400 per year. It’s also important to note that these costs can fluctuate over time due to factors like changes in flood maps, insurance rate revisions, and the occurrence of major flooding events in the area. Consulting with a flood insurance specialist can help Washington residents accurately assess their specific risks and obtain quotes tailored to their property’s unique circumstances.

Suppose your property is in a higher-risk flood zone, usually identified with a Flood zone AE. Your lender will require you to have flood insurance

The cost of flood insurance in Washington depends on many factors unique to the structure. We are going to try to give you an idea of the most common homes we see in Washington with subgrade crawlspaces.

We will look at the cost of flood insurance for the NFIP maximum of $250,000 for the (building only) with NO CONTENTS and our recommended deductible of $5,000.

We will rate all these examples on the NFIP and on a few of our Lloyds options.

Cost of Flood Insurance in Washington in high-risk flood zone AE

Cost of Flood Insurance in Washington (WA) State within a High-risk Flood zone

Our example is Mount Vernon, but the premiums will be the same if in Seattle, Centralia, Burlington, Snoqualmie, Redmond, Vancouver, Aberdeen, Hoquiam, North Bend, and many other Washington state flood zones.

We will rate all these examples on the NFIP and on a few of our Lloyds options.
Cost of Flood Insurance in Colorado in high-risk flood zone AE.

Our example is in Mount Vernon, but the premiums will be the same if in high-risk flood zones in Chelan County, Clallam County, Clark County, Cowlitz County, Grays Harbor County, Island County, King County, Kitsap County, Kittitas County, Lewis County, Mason County, Okanogan County, Pacific County, Pierce County, Skagit County, Snohomish County, Thurston County, Whatcom County, and Yakima County. 

In our example, the Base Flood Elevation (BFE is 29) is a home built before 1973.

NFIP option in Washington state Flood Zone AE

Coverage of $250,000 building coverage (no Contents coverage) and $5,000 deductible

NFIP Annual premium in High-Risk flood zone is $1,095.00

This option is what we see if the property has had a flood loss before and either doesn’t have an Elevation Certificate applied or the Elevation certificate showing that the lowest floor is 4 feet under the BFE for the area. You can use 10% of your coverage to cover other structures on your property

How much does Washington (WA) private flood insurance cost? – Lloyds of London Flood Insurance in Washington State (option 1)

Coverage of $250,000 building coverage (no Contents coverage) and $5,000 deductible

Lloyds of London Washington State (option 1)
The annual premium in a High-Risk flood zone is $842.33

This option is great, and we are thrilled when we can get this option. They can be a bit choosey about what risk they will accept and will not take anything that has had a flood loss. They do offer coverage for basements (one of the few). This policy also has about $2,000 for loss of use. $2,000 for other structures can’t increase this coverage, so if you have a larger structure, please speak with your agent about how to increase this coverage or maybe get a separate policy for this “other structure” on your property. They do not require an Elevation Certificate to rate.

What is BFE?

Washington Private flood insurance – Lloyd’s of London Flood Insurance
(option 2)

Coverage of $250,000 building coverage (no Contents coverage) and $5,000 deductible

Lloyd’s of London (option 2)  Annual premium in High-Risk flood zone is $776.78

This option is great, and we are delighted when we can get this option for our clients as well. They seem to be writing almost all risks. However, they do not write any property that is in a designated floodway or has a depth of -4 under the BFE in our example, with our BFE being 29, if the lowest floor is 25, then they will not accept this risk, they will not take anything that has had a flood loss. They offer limited basements coverage, about 2% of the building coverage (this is better than the NFIP but not exactly what we would like to see – better than nothing, though). They do not require an Elevation Certificate to rate. And as a percentage of coverage for loss of use, usually 10% of coverage. If you want coverage for other structures, then that will need to be added to this policy. Note: make sure to tell your agent if there are any other structures on the property if the policy doesn’t have that written on the policy, there will not be coverage for any other structure. 

Private Flood insurance option (option 3)
Washington Private flood insurance (option 3), Not Lloyd’s

Coverage of $250,000 building coverage (no Contents coverage) and $5,000 deductible

The annual premium in a High-Risk flood zone is $2,850.00

This option will take properties that have had one flood loss before as long as it has been more than five years and the payout was under $100,000 on the claim. Their coverage matches the NFIP.  I will write practically all risks, don’t need an elevation certificate to rate, and are sometimes a bit lower in premium than the NFIP. In this case, the NFIP Lloyd’s and NFIP are beating this option. 

Washington State V and VE flood zones

V and VE flood zones with the NFIP can be extremely expensive. We have seen a premium that is $30,000 a year for a single-home family. This is ridiculous!!

We suggest you let us shop your V or VE flood zones onto the private flood Market that Lloyds of London underwrite.  

We have been able to double or even triple coverage for oceanfront properties.

The main issue that we see with beachfront properties is that on the NFIP, they have a one-size-fits-all solution, and many properties are paying over what we consider is a fair premium for waterfront houses.

How to save money on Flood Insurance in Washington state’s VE flood zones

All homes that are ocean-facing are custom built, so with this special consideration, our Lloyds of London VE flood zone and other Private Flood Insurance options for oceanfront properties consider this with variable coverage options and significant savings. Below is a case study for a property we were shopping for just last week.

Our example was in a VE flood zone map in the Copalis Beach, WA, area.

For the coverage of $250,000 with no contents and a $5,000 deductible, the NFIP annual cost for flood insurance in a VE flood zone is $13,859.00. Ouch!

Since we are who we are and experts in Flood Insurance, we will look at every property in every way possible to ensure that we are getting the best premium for our clients, and WE often Do (smile wink)

We tried this same property on our Private flood options and were able to get the premium to under $2,500, and we have, in some cases with similar properties, get the annual premium to $600. This was a feather in our cap and made our clients very happy. Again all properties are unique in these VE flood zones, but if we can find a private flood policy for you, we guarantee it will be better than the NFIP option. Let us help you save money today.
