Shown here is the average National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) claim payment for policyholders in Texas from 1996-2019 and the average FEMA Individuals and Households Program (IHP) disaster assistance for flood related damages from 2006-2016. Don't rely on federal disaster assistance after a flood event. It's not always available and it's not enough to get you back to your pre-disaster condition. Homeowners, business owners and renters should get flood insurance to help ensure they can recover after an event.
Hurricanes threaten damage from wind, water, power outages and more. Flood effects from hurricanes can occur both on the coast and inland and may be caused by storm surge, intense rainfall, flood protection infrastructure failures, and more.
