NO, But if you live in a designated "Flood Zone" and have financed your home through a mortgage company, then it is probably part of your mortgage contract that you signed with your lender that you would maintain a flood insurance policy until you pay off the mortgage note. If you fail to purchase the required coverage you are in breach of contract with your mortgage lender. By law and by the terms of your mortgage agreement they can purchase it for you and add the cost to your monthly house payment. Failure or refusal to maintain the required coverage and pay for the cost of the flood insurance could be the first sign of an eventual foreclosure in the near future.

Mortgage Protection Life Insurance is a good idea if you want to protect your mortgage. It pays the outstanding balance of your mortgage if the mortgagor (insured person) dies. Mortgage protection life insurance coverage is usually in the form of decreasing term insurance, with the amount of coverage decreasing as the outstanding mortgage debt decreases. Usually, the proceeds of the mortgage protection life insurance are paid to the beneficiary, which is the mortgage company holding the mortgage loan. Some people choose instead to buy level term life insurance in the amount of the mortgage, and the benefits are paid to the insured's beneficiary (family member), who in turn can use the proceeds for any reason, including to pay the mortgage.
To the insurance company, your mortgage balance has no impact on how much insurance coverage you need for your home. Homeowners insurance is based on the replacement/reconstruction cost of your home.
