the flood is located where there is a lot of rain, aka that's why it's called a flood. A flood is where there is alot of water on the ground or in your house or where ever there's alot of water, but a pool, ocean, lake, river, and a stream that is not flooded unless it floods the area around it.

How do you know if you have flood insurance?

You would have to purchase a separate policy. Flood is not covered on a homeowners policy and the flood program is set up by the government. Usually, the reason that people get flood insurance is because their mortgagee requires that you have it. If you are located in a flood plain, you can obtain a flood policy. A flood plain is an area that is deemed to have flooded in the past 100+ years. See your insurance agent about getting a flood insurance policy if you need one. Be aware, flood policies are offered by other companies as well as the government program. Also, flood coverage does not go into effect for thirty (30) days after you take out the policy. This prevents people from running to get a policy when a flood is already eminent.
