Des Moines, Iowa — Allied Insurance claim representatives have
been on location since Thursday, May 22, 2008 in response to the recent
tornadoes that have affected parts of Northern Colorado. Policyholders
with storm damage should call the Allied claims hotline at

Allied Insurance has a claims drive-in center set up at the Renaissance
Insurance Group office located at 631 Birch St. in Windsor.
Procedures are in place to provide quick response to customer needs.
Individuals affected by the tornados can take steps to protect property
from further damage:
• Make sure the electric source adjacent to the damaged area is
disconnected.
• If water is flowing to the home, shut off the water supply.
• Inventory and dispose of any perishable items.
• Separate content items, such as upholstery, fabrics or other
colored items to prevent color bleeding. Blot or wipe wood furniture to
remove excess moisture.
• Prevent the growth of bacteria and mildew. Immediately inventory
and place all moist content materials in a dry location.
