Knowing that the building was high on a hill, about fifty feet above the water, I started doing research and found the following, which was later confirmed by my lender that we did not require food insurance.In my case, just because a properties address is designated in a flood zone, there can be buildings on the property that do not require the insurance.

Food allowance?

Food for thought on both sides.
