Generally no — standard homeowners excludes flood from outside. You need a separate flood policy through the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) or private flood carrier.

Why is flood water treated as contaminated?

Flood water carries everything it has touched: yard runoff, street oil, pesticides, sewer overflow, animal waste.

That's why everything porous below the water line — drywall, insulation, carpet pad — has to come out, not just dry in place.
