This topic has been revisited many times here (use search!).

Two programs that a lot of people around here use:

D.E.P.P. (with two Ps):
http://www.equipmentprotection.com/programs/depp.html

DAN Equipment Insurance (what I use):
https://www.h2oinsurance.com/

Both are reputable, and have given money back to people I know who have lost equipment. DAN gives you cash for replacement, which is great because you aren't locked into buying the same camera again (it may be obsolete by the time it floods). I believe DEPP works by replacement, on their terms (meaning that they can get you the equipment themselves instead of providing cash for you to do your own shopping). Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
