Considering buying flood insurance? Consider these flood insurance facts:

• A flood insurance policy compensates business owners for all covered losses, and unlike a Federal disaster loan, it does not have to be repaid.
• If your business is in a moderate- to low-risk area, you may be able to obtain the lower-cost Preferred Risk Policy. 
• Business owners who lease their space can purchase contents-only coverage.
• In most cases, it takes 30 days after purchase for a policy to take effect, so it's important to buy insurance before the storm approaches and the floodwaters start to rise.
• Excess Flood Insurance may be available.
