Do I need flood insurance in Mobile, Alabama?

Quick answer: Standard home insurance does not cover flood damage anywhere, including Mobile. Flood coverage is separate, through the federal National Flood Insurance Program or a private flood insurer. In coastal and low-lying parts of Mobile, a lender in a FEMA-designated high-risk flood zone will require it.
