The Neptune Consumer Survey of Flood Awareness, conducted nationally in partnership with the University of South Florida, highlights consumer misperceptions of flood risk and flood insurance options and cost. One of the key findings – Consumers significantly underestimate their level of risk of flooding:

  • 63% believe that they have Low Risk or No Risk of flooding, whereas according to a Verisk 2019 study, 62M homes representing over 50% of US homes are at Moderate to Extreme Risk
  • 65% of Floridians perceive themselves to be at Low to No risk of flooding.

The result was affordable coverage for thousands of Americans – delivered in an effortless, intuitive and on-demand platform. It’s backed by some of the largest insurance markets in the world.
