However, a similarly vast majority have not acted upon this key information.

A 2012 poll by the Insurance Information Institute found that only 13% of American homeowners had a flood insurance policy. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and its National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) identify flooding as the United States' No. 1 natural hazard.

More than three in four Americans (76%) say they are not more inclined to invest in the stock market with interest rates on savings accounts and CDs at record lows, according to new research from Bankrate.com (NYSE: RATE). That is the same percentage Bankrate.com measured at this time last year. The percentage of people who are more inclined to invest in stocks increased slightly this year (to 22% from 18%), but that is a negligible change considering the poll's 3.7% margin of error.
