Flooding can happen unexpectedly—even in low-risk zones—leading to costly damage that standard homeowners coverage doesn’t include. Rhode Island Personal Flood Insurance protects your property and belongings against flood-related losses. At Segreve & Hall, we help you navigate both federal NFIP options and private insurance plans to ensure your home has the protection it needs.

Why Flood Insurance Matters in Rhode Island
Protection for coastal, riverside, and inland properties
Because of coastal exposure and heavy seasonal rainfall, homes throughout Rhode Island face flood risk. Over 20% of flood claims come from properties outside high-risk areas, so flood insurance is smart even if it’s not required. If your property lies in a FEMA-mapped Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), federal regulations may require flood insurance when your mortgage is backed by a regulated lender.
Coverage Options Through NFIP and Private Markets
Government-backed or customizable private policies
Rhode Island homeowners can choose between two main options for flood coverage:
- NFIP flood insurance, supported by FEMA, offers standardized coverage with limits up to $250,000 for the building and $100,000 for contents.
- Private flood insurance, which may provide higher limits, broader coverage, and more flexible deductible options.
All private insurers must be licensed by the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation and comply with state consumer protection laws to ensure fair pricing and claims practices.
Check Your Flood Risk Using State Tools
Determine your flood zone and insurance needs accurately
Use the Rhode Island Floodplain Mapping Tool, provided by RIEMA, to view your property’s flood zone. This tool helps determine if your home lies within a high-risk (A/V) or moderate-to-low-risk (X) flood zone, which impacts premium rates and coverage recommendations.

My experience working with Segreve & Hall has been great. I recently purchased a car and while at dealership the salesperson said that we just had to wait for my insurence company to respond to finish the deal as he faxed the paperwork and it may take awhile. Few minutes later he responded saying wow that was the fastest ever getting information back. Thanks to Paulo Botelho and his speedy service I was in and out of the dealership in no time and the salesperson was also impressed!!

Michael Brandolini was incredibly helpful! We had some last-minute changes for both my rental property and my new home, and he handled everything quickly and seamlessly. Excellent service and truly a pleasure to work with. Will be continuing to use this team for my future needs. 10/10 would recommend.
We were with another Insurance Agency for 30 years plus and our agent retired (a friend). No complicated policies, Family of 5 for home and auto insurance. It grew more and more difficult to deal with them, and often had to ask 3-4 times for info or policy adjustments. A friend recommended Segreve and Hall and we are glad that they did!!. Along with saving us thousands of dollars for the same policies , the service is fantastic. Any inquiry I send over via email, I have the answer within hours. A phone call has everything addressed without waiting for a call back. For us, appreciation for a customer and respect for their time means lot.!
M. Brandolini was excellent to work with. He gave my family members and myself excellent quotes.
He took care of the transition from our old company to Segreve and Hall.

Outstanding service from start to finish. Brian Segreve has been a tremendous asset to my trucking company, securing commercial insurance coverage at a competitive rate. The team at Segreve & Hall is lightning-fast in responding to questions and COI requests, and their professionalism gives me complete confidence. I couldn’t be happier with the service they provide.
It was a pleasure working with my agent Finn Collins. I recently switched my Auto and Home/Umbrella Insurance over and he made the transition smooth and seamless. He was fast with the quotes and very responsive in getting the new policies set up.

I worked with Paulo Botelho of Segreve & Hall on obtaining insurance for a new seasonal residence in Maine. Paul was very knowledgeable, efficient, very easy to work with and I was able to quickly obtain excellent coverage at a premium much lower than I expected. I highly recommend Paulo and his firm.
I worked with Hunter and Adam on getting health insurance last minute. I was unaware I’d lose coverage when I turned 26 and was desperate for help. They made the process simple for me and I had no gap in coverage. I look forward to working with them in the future for my other insurance needs.
Great communication from them. Always answer all my questions promptly and are great to work with.

Paulo is so very helpful with everything we have needed so far. He even had to re-route our policy from an old address and did that without a problem. Very smooth transition from our former agency. Thank you Paulo!

I strongly recommend Segreve and Hall, specifically Michael Brandolini for insurance needs!
