3 Statistics Every Business Owner Should Know About Flood Waters and Flood Insurance, from the Optometric Protector Plan®
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) March 31, 2015 -- With nationwide predictions of major floods due to northern snowmelt and a meteorological phenomenon known as the pineapple express, the OPP is urging its insureds to examine the need for flood insurance. FEMA, "Protecting Your Business" 09/23/2014, provides alarming statistics about flood disasters and offers preparation tips for protecting your business.
Here are 3 statistics that every business owner should know:
1. Almost 40% of small businesses never reopen their doors after a flood disaster.
2. Floods happen everywhere. 25% of all flood damage occurs in low to moderate flood risk areas. Business owners should not rely on a line on a flood map for protection.
3. Most business insurance policies exclude flood damage. Only flood insurance pays qualified claims quickly so a business owner can get back to business.
