Would you be in over your head if your house flooded? Standard homeowners insurance polices do not cover losses due to floods.
 
Garland, however, is a participant in the National Flood Insurance program, which makes it possible for property owners to obtain federally backed flood insurance.  This insurance is available to any owner of insurable property in Garland.  Tenants may also insure their personal property against flood loss.
 
Learn about these and other flood issues at the Flood Awareness Seminar.
 
The City of Garland Engineering Department in partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) will host a Flood Awareness Seminar on Thursday, March 6, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at City Hall Council Chambers, located at 200 N.
