Local Risks That Shape Claims in Kings Point
Homes near Long Island Sound, Manhasset Bay and Little Neck Bay face storm surge during nor'easters and tropical storms. The wind-versus-water question decides which policy pays, which deductible applies (many Long Island policies carry a separate hurricane or windstorm deductible), and how much the homeowner recovers.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Kings Point home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
