  • Heavy rainfall and flash flooding across the islands left several homes on Maui with extensive damage on Monday and Tuesday. Entire homes and properties were gone in minutes. For the Alexander family, they say they lost everything.

    Living near a river should have required flood insurance. It may look placid 99% of the time, they are in essence culverts. If your home is within 200 feet of it this might happen to you. Maui for decades has had pretty lax building code when it comes to flood risk. Really truth be told an island that could be hit by hurricanes needs to mandate flood insurance. FEMA has been crippled and doesn’t really work with local and state agencies to reduce risks like this.
    It shouldn’t happen to anyone.

    I really hate to see someones hard work be destroyed like this. Depending on how you look at it, lenders only require flood insurance in high risk flood areas. This area was probably not one of those high risk areas. I complain about having to pay hurricane insurance because kona hasn't had a hurricane but weather is changing and every year the hurricanes come closer and closer. If you live in low lying area or an area that has a small stream, you might want to reconsider buying flood insurance.

      It's unfortunate that most homeowner policies don't have flood insurance in them. It's only covered like if the washing machine or indoor plumbing overflows. For any kind of other flood, you have to pay extra for that insurance and it comes from a specific company. One of the best things you can do is make sure any property you buy has less than a 3/10 flood chance on flood maps.
