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.

From Our Clients
A relative referred me to S&H as I had indicated a change was needed with my current agent of 32yrs. I connected with Finn Collins at S&H and explained my situation and what I was hoping to do. He asked a few questions, I provided my coverage sheets and he took it home from there. He mapped all my options as requested to the T, made a few suggestions on gaps in my current plan and provided options all of which were better than my current rates but with more coverage. Too good to be true? I inquired on how drivers with near perfect driving records and a 30+yr relationship with existing carrier can get better rates with new carrier and no history. He provided industry white papers explaining how....Who knew? I do now. Thank you S&H and Thank you Finn C! I am passing on your info to my contacts!

I’ve had my liability insurance for my small business with Segreve & Hall for many years. The customer service wasn’t always that fast. But now that I’m working with Michael Brandolini directly I’ve had a great experience. He always responds in a timely manner. Would recommend him to anymore looking for insurance.
Used S&H to insure my very first condo - although I've owned several homes, this is the first time in condo-land, and I was pretty unfamiliar with the process. Thomas helped walk me through all the options, and also the fact that we ended up closing 2.5 weeks later than anticipated! He also helped with quite a few special circumstances. Very happy and would work with them again!

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!!
