You're going to try and make this make more sense:
Is this for a new home closing?
Is it a private paper or NFIP policy?
If you don't have a policy number, you won't be able to pay the carrier directly. Are you sure it's not already bound and that you haven't paid for it?
If it's unbound, no, you are completely out of luck. Universally, carriers prohibit binding of weather-related catastrophe policies in an area under a current watch or warning.

Help the house is in fire, I need to bind my homeowners policy! Where do these idiots come from?

This had nothing to do or contribute to the original question posed. What value did you seek to find in your response?
Incidentally, the wild misunderstandings about flood, earthquake, etc. coverage is what led to this. Perhaps name calling isn't the best option to take first.

See last paragraph of response #3 .. using fire insurance as an analogy.

I think he is trying to ask if he pays for the flood insurance now , can he give his agent the policy number. Flood insurance is thru the federal government normally. Anyway if a hurricane is coming you wont be able to get a policy to cover it. Once its a states hurricane coming to your area no policy can be issued. You will have to wait and pray. Get insurance after this hurricane there is still plenty of time for another hurricane. Hurricane season doesn't end until October.

Again. There is no policy number or way for the insured to make a direct payment to NFIP without an agent’s involvement.

Flood insurance does require a 30 day wait period once the policy has been purchased, unless you meet one of the exceptions, such as:
If the initial purchase of flood insurance is in connection with the making, increasing, extending, or renewing of a loan, there is no waiting period. The coverage becomes effective at the time of the loan, provided the application and presentment of premium are made at or prior to loan closing.
If the initial purchase of flood insurance is made during the 13-month period following the revision or update of a Flood Insurance Rate Map for the community, there is a 1-day waiting period.
No clue as to whether the OP criteria meets one of the exceptions. If the OP was merely freaking out over Dorian and looking for instant flood insurance coverage, it's extremely doubtful that would happen as FEMA normally does require the 30 day waiting period for national flood insurance for just that reason.
Perhaps the OP was purchasing private flood insurance? Even that usually has a 10 - 14 day waiting period.
