FLOOD INSURANCE
Flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program is available throughout the Los Angeles County unincorporated areas and in participating Cities within Los Angeles County. To determine if your property is in a Federally-designated flood hazard area, you can contact the City in which you reside. For unincorporated County areas, contact the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works at:
(626) 458-4321
If you have concerns that flooding may cause damage to your home, we strongly recommend that you contact your insurance broker regarding flood insurance. If your broker is unfamiliar with flood insurance, he/she can obtain information by contacting the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at the following toll free number: 1-800-638-6620.
Remember, flood insurance is available in participating communities, even if your property is not in a flood hazard area identified by the Federal Government, the County, the City, or the subdivider for your property. Also, for insurance coverage purchased voluntarily, there is a 30-day wait period after the policy is issued, before the coverage becomes effective.
