Kirbyville participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, and its current flood map took effect in December 2010. Only about 1 in 41 Jasper County homes carries NFIP coverage. New NFIP policies usually take 30 days to start.

Pick the deductible you could pay the week after a storm. Percentage deductibles scale with the dwelling limit, so 1% on a $400,000 limit means $4,000 per claim, while flat deductibles stay fixed.
