  Know your Flood Risk in 2026!
In Maryland, April is Flood Awareness Month. Did you know just one inch of flood water can cause $25,000 in damages to your home? One way to manage your risks is to purchase additional insurance to cover damage caused by flooding. Flood insurance is less expensive than you might think, but note it typically takes 30-days to obtain flood insurance, so preparedness is key.
Join us, and other partners, for virtual webinars throughout the month as we discuss different flood-related topics. Event details can be found here, as well as other flood-related content.
To learn more about Flood Insurance, visit our flood resources on our website.
While the Maryland Insurance Administration does not sell insurance and we cannot recommend a particular policy or insurance company, we do want to help you learn what types of coverages are available. Additionally, we are here to assist you if you have a complaint involving an insurer, an insurance producer, public adjuster or adviser.
April is Financial Literacy Month. How can you protect your financial future? Insurance may be the answer you're looking for. Now is a great time to explore resources that can help ensure financial stability. Knowledge pays in dividends!
