Housing and Claims in East Marion

What Goes Wrong on East Marion Claims
Storm surge and tidal flooding are the main threat for homes near Orient Harbor, Gardiners Bay and Long Island Sound. Standard homeowners policies exclude flood, so flood damage usually goes to a separate NFIP or private flood policy, while wind and wind-driven rain stay with the homeowners carrier. After a storm, expect the two insurers to argue over the line between them.
Second homes and seasonal rentals are common out east. Policies on those homes may limit coverage when a house is vacant or unoccupied for long stretches, or require that heat be maintained in winter, and those clauses come up quickly after a freeze-up or a break-in.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your East Marion home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
