In Russia 90% of population own their houses or flats and don't have insurance. Renting is widespread only in big cities but still it's not more than 10-15% of flats. The rest are owned by people.

It took me 30 minutes to get one, so it's very fast and easy, just about 1000 - 1200 rub. for minimum 1 year insurance. When the flat is new people tend to get insurance, if it's old, yes, often they don't think about it.

Я не думаю что в России сейчас существует страховка от наводнения, даже если бы она существовала, то она никак не может стоить так дешево в районах с повышенным риском затопления.
В Штатах страховка от наводнения это отдельный вид страхования и стоит совсем не дешево: в местах с повышенным риском, разговор идет про несколько тысяч долларов в год (до 20 тысяч) - $20,000 a year for flood insurance? Sandy survivors face tough rebuilding choices - U.S. News
