Home Insurance Workshop: Sheepshead Bay

In this FREE, small-group workshop, an insurance specialist from nonprofit NHS Brooklyn will:

• provide an overview of homeowner's insurance and flood insurance, and how to calculate them properly

• look at your property insurance policy and let you know if you're over-insured (and so paying too much) or under-insured (and so at risk of an ugly surprise if an uncovered event occurs).

• look up your address on the new FEMA flood maps to determine if your property's flood insurance requirements have changed

• check that the amount being escrowed for homeowner's insurance by your mortgage lender is correct

• let you know if you may wish to contact your insurance agent to request a policy adjustment

• provide fire safety information

Please bring:

1. your homeowner's insurance policy (or your property insurance policy, if you live in a coop, condo, or apartment)

2. your flood insurance policy (if you have one)

3. your last mortgage statement (if you have a mortgage)
