Des Moines, Iowa — Allied Insurance claim representatives

windstorms, hail, and tornadoes. Policyholders with storm damage should

Procedures are in place to provide quick response to customer needs.
Individuals affected by the storms can take steps to protect property
from further damage:
• Make sure the electric source adjacent to the damaged
area is disconnected.

supply.
