Although it may seem unlikely for Arkansas, there are times each year when large amounts of rain can cause flash flooding.   Most Arkansas homeowner insurance policies do not cover flood damage. This can only be purchased through the federal government and would be a supplement to your existing Arkansas homeowners insurance policy. You can find information on flood insurance guidelines on whether you are at risk, at www.fema.gov/index.shtm .  Another area of concern for Arkansas homeowners should be coverage for tornados. Clauses that refer to an exclusion due to an "Act of God" could be interpreted as a way to avoid paying for damage by an Arkansas homeowners insurance company. Make sure your policy covers wind damage and tornados.
