Given the recent destruction and heartache from storms, it's important to reflect on our preparedness. In this episode of "Recharging with Champions," we deviate from our usual fun Thursday Jumpstart trivia to tackle a critical question that could help you make important decisions about flood insurance.
Did you know that if you have a 1% or higher chance of flooding, flood insurance is required for your property if you have a standard mortgage?

Additionally, we discuss the importance of considering flood insurance even if you're not in a high-risk area, and the need to understand that flood insurance typically does not cover landslides.
