Do you know of any great insurance carriers for flood insurance? Living in New Orleans, I'm concerned about flooding.

Thank you. Since it's my first time owning a home I have a hard time containing my excitement. I'm thinking stone or laminate flooring might be best to prevent mold from growing. New Orleans is prone to mold/mildew, correct?
Since Hurricane Katrina mold has shown its presence in New Orleans.
That's one thing I'm concerned about. I think I'm going to have someone test for mold in the house before I move in.
I wish you stupendous luck on your new adventure!
Thank you! What color do you think I should paint my walls?
