flood caused by rising water insurance fee


Explanation:
There is a difference between storm and flood insurances. Many people find that they are covered for flood caused by water falling ie: rain BUT are not covered for flood caused by rising water ie: a surge, a river flooding, a Tsunami, King Tide etc.

You could also say "Storm Surge Insurance Fee" - to more align with the Danish.
