What the data says for DeLand homeowners

46% of DeLand's claims were filed in 2015 or later, versus 44.9% statewide.

Flood insurance gap

Only 11.1% of homes in Volusia County carry NFIP flood insurance[2], and even inside the high-risk flood zone only 57.4% are insured[2]. Uninsured flood damage is paid out of pocket, which makes fast drying to limit the damage even more important.

Rain and humidity

DeLand averages 51 inches of rain a year, with 0.1 inch or more of rain on about 74 days and 20 inches falling in June through August alone[4]. Warm, wet conditions like these are why wet drywall, carpet pad and cabinets need to be dried quickly after any leak.

Disaster history

Volusia County has been included in 18 federal major disaster declarations since 2000[3], including Hurricane Milton (2024), Hurricane Debby (2024), Hurricane Idalia (2023), Hurricane Nicole (2022).

What to do right now

  1. Stay away from wet electrical equipment; if reaching the breaker means walking through water, call an electrician[5][6].
  2. Stop the source, then photograph everything and keep receipts[7].
  3. Start drying within 24 to 48 hours[8]. Full step-by-step guide.
