In a dwelling flood damage can happen be from indoor plumbing. Be from roofs.

And if you have this stuff in a fireproof box or filing cabinet, those are not concerns, provided it's not in the basement.

Also, water damage from pipes or roof leaks is categorically different from flood damage. Homeowners insurance covers roof and pipe leaks, but you need flood insurance for actual flood damage (basically water from any other sources).
