Flood

Flooding is the most common natural disaster worldwide, with over 40% of all disasters involving flooding. Climate change has also exacerbated the frequency and intensity of flooding, with over 30% of events occurring outside of designated high-frequency flood zones in the past 10 years. Despite its recurring nature and increased severity, flood exposure represents the largest segment of underinsured and uninsured risk within the United States. 

The Burns & Wilcox Flood Practice Group offers a wide array of customized Flood Insurance products across some of the most expansive Private Flood markets in the United States. Our innovative solutions provide Flood coverage for homes and businesses across numerous scenarios and layers. Reinforced by strong carrier partnerships and aligned with cutting-edge modeling technology, Burns & Wilcox can provide increased insights into flood exposures in various risk locations.
