During this festive season, we wanted to take a moment to extend our warmest holiday wishes to you and your loved ones. It is a time of celebration, reflection, and gratitude, and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve you. As we look ahead to the coming year, we are excited to continue serving you with dedication and excellence. We are committed to providing you with exceptional insurance products, services, and experiences that exceed your expectations. It is because of our amazing community here in Rock Island and the surrounding Quad City area that we are able to thrive and grow.

Here are some winter insurance tips to help you stay protected during the colder months.

Practice safe driving: Adjust your driving habits to suit winter conditions. Drive slower, increase your following distance, and avoid sudden maneuvers. Be mindful of black ice and slippery roads, and use caution when approaching intersections, bridges, and overpasses.

Know your coverage: Familiarize yourself with your insurance policy, including any roadside assistance or towing coverage. Save your insurance agent's contact information in case you need to report an accident or make a claim.

Prevent frozen pipes: Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas of your home, such as basements, attics, and crawl spaces. Consider using pipe insulation sleeves or heat tape. Keep your home heated to a consistent temperature, even when you are away, to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting.

Install and test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: Ensure that you have working smoke detectors on every level of your home, including near bedrooms. Test them regularly and replace batteries as needed. Install carbon monoxide detectors near sleeping areas and maintain them properly.

The Jenn Merema State Farm team is committed to delivering personalized insurance coverage for every stage of life. We take pride in serving the Quad City communities of Rock Island, Moline, East Moline, Davenport, and Bettendorf. With a team of experienced insurance professionals, we are prepared to assist you in finding the ideal policy, whether it's for auto insurance, homeowners insurance, renters insurance, life insurance, business insurance, or any other coverage you may need.

Our office values relationships above all else. Whether it's being there for you and your loved ones at the scene of an accident or simply saying hello when we bump into you at the grocery store, I am committed to being available day and night.

When I'm not serving the Quad City area, you can often find me outdoors, seeking adventure with my wonderful husband, Ryan, and our beloved dog, Parker. In the summer, you'll likely spot me boating on the Mississippi River with my family, including our kids Rhett (23), Grant (22), and Baylee (20)—that is, if they aren't too cool to be seen with mom and dad.

At our State Farm office, we understand the demands of a busy life. That's why we offer the convenience of discussing your insurance needs and options through a secure and user-friendly virtual meeting with Good Neighbor ConnectTM. Have you thought about meeting virtually? Let's connect with you, wherever you are.

We look forward to the opportunity to assist you with your insurance and financial service needs, making sure you are well-prepared for life's unexpected events. Click, call, or visit us at our Rock Island, IL office—we're available to help you whenever you need.
