Just came back from Allstate - In RI, unless you have a flood rider on your policy, you're on your own.

First off, I don't know all the technicalities, and I just saw my policy earlier this month with the No Flood disclaimer clearly on the bottom, but.... if I had suffered a major loss, I would be damn sure my agent would be seeking some little known loophole or provision of my policy to help offset at least a small amount... or he'd be history. As for the FEMA, if your area has been declared a disaster area, I believe you qualify for some federal relief.... Could be wrong, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

FEMA trailer at the Lowes Warwick at RT5 and 113 today.

Couple of my neighbors have applied for assistance, debating but I'm not sure I'm bad enough to warrant it - or want it. I need to quantify whether we need it or not.

Fema assistance probably is for everyone regardless of policy. Might as well take advantage of it.

I went thru FEMA..after filling out the application someone was at the house 3 days later to inspect and take photos..3 days after that I had a check that was almost enough to pay serve pro ..sometimes goverment works well..
