It can be difficult for someone to find insurance that can help you during a disaster and it is more challenging in a high-risk region. According to Loretta Worters spokeswoman for the Insurance Information Institute, the first thing to do is to contact the broker to represent the available insurers in your area. It is possible even the cheaper one is unavailable but you can buy either excess or surplus insurance.
Those two plans charge higher premiums and it is not common in high-risk areas. But take note it is set on a case-by-case basis and also depends on your past insurance claims history. But according to Dave Phillips, recommended risk-mitigation steps are possible such as: rebuilding your roof with fire-resistant materials and maintaining a defensible zone in your surroundings. By protecting your home you are eligible for an insurance discount.
If you can’t buy private insurers there are still many options you can choose from such as California FAIR Plan and Citizens Property Insurance in Florida. The FAIR Plan offers a basic policy that will pay you for damages caused by fire, lighting, or smoke. These two plans are expensive and have less coverage compared to others.
