Insurance in Byers: the local picture
And let's be honest, we know May can get hairy around here with tornadoes. Pratt County sees its share, so having robust wind and hail coverage on your homeowners policy isn't something to skimp on. It's smart to understand your deductibles for these events – sometimes they're a percentage, not a flat dollar amount. On top of that, with a moderate flood risk affecting about one in five properties over the next 30 years, it's a real conversation we need to have about flood insurance. Most standard homeowners policies don't cover rising water, so a separate flood policy through the National Flood Insurance Program is often the smartest move to protect your biggest asset.
