Current Hot Topic: Severe Weather & Wildfire Season—Get Insurance Ready!

April marks the start of severe weather and wildfire season in the Rockies and we encourage you to use these timely RMIA severe weather and wildfire preparedness "news you can use" tips on your website, customer outreach and in social media.

FACTOIDS: Colorado and SE Wyoming is considered to be "Hail Alley" where we experience more damaging hail than almost anywhere else on earth! Along with hail, tornadoes, flooding and wildfire are all disasters that we need to prepare for as we head into the peak summer months.

NOW is the time to remind policyholders how they can prevent damage AND check in with agents/companies to make sure they are financially prepared with an insurance check up to update limits and consider endorsements, such as sewer back-up coverage and separate flood insurance on their homes and optional comprehensive coverage on their vehicles. Two years of devastating wildfires and floods provide a teachable moment to incentivize homeowners, renters, businesses and drivers to be insurance ready!
