Some homeowners trying to file insurance claims in the wake of the storms may be surprised to find they’re not covered.

In designated flood-prone areas, including along coastlines and rivers, specialized flood insurance is required to get a mortgage. But homeowners in other low-lying neighborhoods that have flooded over the past week may not have that same coverage. Some places hardest hit by the storms have been in Santa Cruz and Sonoma counties, which have been primed for mudflows in recent years by massive wildfires that cleared out hundreds of thousands of acres of vegetation that helped hold the soil together.
“If you had a mudslide or debris flow, it’s going to depend on the cause of that,” said Michael Soller, a spokesperson for the California Department of Insurance. “If wildfire was the cause of it … then you may have coverage.”
