Brookings, Oregon sits at the confluence of the Chetco River and the Pacific Ocean — a beautiful location that also creates real flood risk for many properties. Standard homeowners and commercial property insurance policies do not cover flood damage. Whether you are in a designated flood zone or not, flood insurance is an important consideration for Brookings property owners. Gerald Ross Agency is an NFIP-authorized flood insurance agent serving Brookings, Harbor, and the surrounding Chetco River valley — helping homeowners and businesses understand their flood risk and find the right coverage.

What's Covered
Building Coverage
Covers the structure of your home or building — foundation, walls, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and built-in appliances — up to $250,000 for residential properties under NFIP.
Contents Coverage
Covers your personal property — furniture, electronics, clothing, and valuables — up to $100,000 under NFIP.
Commercial Building Coverage
NFIP covers commercial buildings up to $500,000 for building and $500,000 for contents.
Private Flood Insurance
Private flood insurance can provide higher limits, broader coverage, and often lower premiums than NFIP — especially for properties with low-to-moderate flood risk.
Excess Flood Coverage
For high-value properties that need coverage above NFIP limits, excess flood insurance provides additional protection.
Loss of Use
Some private flood policies include loss of use coverage — pays for temporary housing if your home is uninhabitable after a flood.
How We Help Brookings Homeowners Get Flood Insurance
Determine Your Flood Zone
We review your property's flood zone designation using FEMA flood maps. Properties in high-risk zones (Zone A or AE) may be required to have flood insurance by their lender.
Compare NFIP vs. Private Options
We compare NFIP flood insurance against private flood insurance options to find the best combination of coverage and cost for your Brookings property.
Explain the 30-Day Waiting Period
NFIP flood insurance has a 30-day waiting period before coverage takes effect. We help you plan ahead so you are not caught without coverage when you need it.
Coordinate with Your Homeowners Policy
Flood insurance works alongside your homeowners policy — not as a replacement. We ensure the two policies work together without gaps.
