Yes it is.  Insurance proceeds apparently in this case are for actual damages.  If the damages to restore the property to usefulness are greater than the insurance proceeds you will be eligible to claim a deduction for the difference.  If the proceeds are greater than the damages, it would normally not be a taxable item unless you did not expend the funds that were received to restore what you are being reimbursed for.
