## Rathbun Insurance CEO Ben Rathbun Talks Flood Insurance on WWJ-950

- Posted on Tuesday, April 21, 2026

At Rathbun Insurance, education is at the heart of everything we do. Recently, our CEO, Ben Rathbun, had the opportunity to join WWJ Newsradio 950 to talk about an important and often misunderstood topic: flood insurance.

With recent heavy rains and flooding across Michigan, more homeowners are starting to ask an important question: _Am I covered?_ As Ben shared during the interview, the answer is often surprising.

Many people assume their homeowners insurance policy includes flood coverage. In reality, most policies do not. Flood insurance is a separate policy, and understanding when and why you need it can make a significant difference in protecting your home and financial future.

During the conversation, Ben walks through:

- What flood insurance actually covers
- Who should consider purchasing a policy
- Common misconceptions about flood risk
- Why even homes outside of high-risk zones should take a closer look

As highlighted in the interview, flooding can happen almost anywhere, and it’s not limited to properties near lakes or rivers. Ben Rathbun shares practical insights to help individuals and families make informed decisions about their coverage.

We’re proud to see our team continuing to serve as a trusted resource in our community, helping people better understand their risks and options.
