If you live in a high-risk area for flooding, consider purchasing flood insurance. This type of insurance is typically sold through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and can help cover the cost of repairs if a flood damages your home.

Flooding can occur due to heavy rains, storm surges, blocked drainage systems, or broken levees. Most often in Southwest Florida, flooding is caused by a combination of the first three conditions. During the wet season (May-October), thunderstorms drop large amounts of rain in a short period of time. If the ground is already saturated from previous rains, the rainwater has nowhere to go but to flood the area.

Additionally, common causes of flooding in the home are:

• Damaged pipes within the walls of a home
• A leaking or damaged roof is a hazard and poses an increased chance of flooding
• Backup of sewage and drainage Water cannot drain properly. 
• If you have a sump pump, this is an additional item that needs to be checked as it commonly causes flooding
• Dishwasher and other appliance malfunctions

Floods can pose a serious health risk to people living in areas that are prone to flooding. The health risks associated with floods include exposure to contaminated water, increased risk of injuries and drowning, and mental health problems.

Exposure to contaminated water is the most common health risk associated with floods.
