Welcome to September with State Farm!
Colorado in September usually means a mix of stormy weather (hail/thunderstorms, lightning), rapid temperature changes, and sometimes wildfire smoke/wind, plus mountain road travel.
1) Back-to-school safety
Back-to-school means more cars on the road—slow down, watch for school zones, and put distractions away while driving. 📚🚸 Reminder: allow extra time during drop-off and pick-up. Need to review your auto coverage before the new school schedule?
2) Labor Day travel check
Before your Labor Day getaway: check tire pressure, pack an emergency kit, and confirm your contact info for roadside help. 🚗✅ Safe trips start before you hit the road. We can help you make sure your coverage fits your plans.
3) Fall home prep
Fall is coming—time to: clear gutters, check smoke/CO detectors, and make sure your home is ready for cooler temps and storms. 🍂🏡 Small steps now can help later. Want to review your homeowner's policy? Reach out.
4) Colorado storm readiness: hail + lightning
Colorado storms can bring hail and lightning fast. This week, take a minute to: ⚡ Review your plan for shelter 📄 Gather important documents 📍 Know how to get alerts for your area.
5) Wildfire smoke season reminder
Even if you’re not in the path of a wildfire, smoke can impact air quality. September is a good time to: 😷 Know how to reduce indoor smoke exposure 💾 Keep important documents secured 🚗 Check your emergency supplies for road trip.
6) Mountain road / changing weather awareness (Auto)
September drives = changing conditions. If you’re headed to the mountains: give yourself extra time, watch for sudden weather shifts, and keep an emergency kit in the car. ⛰️🌦️ Safe driving is the greatest kind of preparation.

Q: What exactly is renters' insurance and how does it work?
A: Renters insurance is a policy designed to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting a home or apartment.

Serving Colorado Springs and the surrounding area, Debbie can help answer your questions.
