MELBOURNE, Fla., Sept. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The
MyFloodInsurance.com website has gone live for consumers and agents
to quote, compare and purchase flood insurance policies from
multiple flood insurance companies, as well as from the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) administered by FEMA. The free,
one-stop site is aimed at giving users the ability to research and
select from competitive flood insurance rates and customized
coverages to help best protect their property in the event of flood
damage.
Aurora Technologies developed the website to assist the
self-reliant consumer, as well as support insurance agents in
securing flood coverage. Through MyFloodInsurance.com, property
owners complete three simple steps to generate flood coverage
quotes from the NFIP and various private insurance offerings in
less than one minute. Insurance agents are given credentialed
access to discover and write flood policies from several top-rated
private flood companies and one of the largest providers of NFIP
policies, all of which are represented in the same portal.
The selection of flood coverage plans the website offers for
consumers and agents to evaluate will depend on the geographic
location of the property.
"MyFloodInsurance.com was created to serve the flood insurance
market in response to the demand for comparison shopping and
digital self-service tools that have emerged in other segments of
the insurance industry," said Amanda
Bryant of Aurora Technologies. "We believe that
facilitating access to flood insurance products and plans will
encourage more consumers to purchase such essential protection for
any property, anywhere."
According to the Insurance Information Institute, only 15% of
homeowners in the U.S. have flood insurance coverage. Yet, FEMA
data shows that all 50 states and 99% of U.S. counties have
experienced some form of flooding disaster in recent years.
"The flood insurance industry has grown with the availability of
private offerings to complement the scope of NFIP, which continues
to provide much-needed coverage to millions of Americans," added
Bryant. "Our goal with MyFloodInsurance.com is to provide direct
access to different policy options and give more consumers the
opportunity to purchase this valuable protection on their own or
through their trusted insurance agent."
