A bucket stands in a puddle of water, with a drop of water falling toward it. Text reads: The cost of flood insurance is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of flood damage. $700/year average flood insurance policy. $39,000 average flood insurance claim.

This graphic compares the cost of flood insurance ($700/year average flood insurance policy) to the cost of flood damage ($39,000 average flood insurance claim), using the metaphor of a drop in the bucket.
