State Farm Customers Impacted by the Hewlett Fire Should Contact Their Agent, Save Receipts for Temporary Living Expenses

Denver, Colo., May 17, 2012 -Evacuated northern Colorado residents insured with State Farm are encouraged to contact their State Farm agent right away - even if they don’t know yet whether their property is affected by the wildfire.

No claims have been reported at this time.

“Local claims personnel are assembling and plan to be available to our customers at the evacuation site within the hour,” said State Farm spokeswoman Angela Thorpe. “Right now it’s important for those affected by the wildfire to safely follow evacuation procedures and to let us know how to contact them. We also encourage our policyholders to save their receipts for any temporary living expenses they incur.”

The State Farm homeowners policy provides temporary living expense coverage for homeowners required to evacuate, such as motel and food expenses, subject to their policy deductible.

State Farm is the largest insurer of homes and vehicles in Colorado.
