Built for the Coast
Living on the Coast changes your insurance.
Coastal Mississippi homes and businesses face risks that people inland rarely think about. A good policy here accounts for:
- Wind and named storm deductibles that are often a percentage of your dwelling coverage, not a flat dollar amount.
- Flood, which standard home and business policies exclude, and which usually has a waiting period before it starts.
- Hurricane season (June 1 to November 30), when insurers typically pause new policies and coverage increases once a storm is threatening the Coast.
