Kansas home insurance

Homeowners in Kansas face many challenges throughout the year as tornadoes, super cell thunderstorms, and hail can unexpectedly damage property. Liberty Mutual understands the needs of Kansas homeowners and offers customized homeowners insurance coverage to fit your specific situation.

The following insurance coverages are recommended for homeowners in Kansas:

• Flood insurance: Homeowners insurance generally does not cover damage caused by floods, which can occur across the state but particularly for communities along the Arkansas River Basin. Kansas City has also experienced numerous flash floods in recent years. However, keep in mind that even if you are not in a flood zone, flooding frequently occurs outside of flood risk areas.

  Liberty Mutual offers flood insurance in partnership with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). While flood insurance needs to be purchased separately and is often optional, it may be required to secure a home loan if you live in a high-risk flood area.

• Personal property replacement cost: If your belongings are lost or damaged in a covered loss such as from theft or a fire, this coverage will cover the cost of brand-new replacement items.

The following optional homeowners insurance coverages should be considered by all homeowners in Kansas:

• Blanket Jewelry
• Escape of Water
• Inflation protection
