B. Coverage B: Personal Property
If the policyholder purchases personal property coverage, the SFIP insures against direct physical loss by or from flood to personal property inside a building at the described location. Note that:
  • Personal property must be owned by the policyholder or family members of the policyholder's household, or at the policyholder's option, the property owned by the policyholder's guests or servants
  • Personal property is insured for a period of 45 days at another location as set forth in the SFIP in Section III.C. Other Coverages, 2.b. Property Removed to Safety
  • Personal property in a building that is not fully enclosed must be secured to prevent floatation out of the building. If the personal property does float out during a flood, it will be conclusively presumed that it was not reasonably secured. In that case there is no coverage for such property
