Insure Your Property for Your Flood Hazard

The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a federal program enabling property owners in participating communities to purchase flood insurance on eligible buildings and contents, whether they are in or out of a floodplain. North Kingstown participates in the NFIP, making federally backed flood insurance available to its property owners. The NFIP insures most walled and roofed buildings that are principally above ground on a permanent foundation, including mobile homes, and buildings in the course of construction. Property owners can purchase building and contents coverage from any local property and casualty insurance agent. Find a local insurance agent that writes flood insurance in your area. View additional information on the NFIP Website.

There is a 30-day waiting period before a flood insurance policy takes effect, so call your insurance agent now.
