Oregon Division of Financial Regulation Emphasizes Importance of Student Insurance
College has begun for many, and families are both excited and anxious, wondering about financial security. The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation (DFR) reminds Oregonians that having proper insurance coverage can provide greater peace of mind and protect your family. If your student is moving into a dorm room, your homeowner's policy will likely cover their personal property. Ask your child to tell you if they buy a new computer or other pricey items, and have them keep receipts. Students living off campus should consider renters insurance. This coverage protects students' personal property and provides liability coverage. If your student drives, Oregon requires every vehicle on the road to have auto liability coverage. If the title to the vehicle is in your student's name, they must have their own policy. If your college student is driving a vehicle you own, your child can likely stay on your policy and be listed as a driver.

Lightning strikes can cause new fires, and all of these conditions can fuel their growth. As a result, the US National Weather Service Medford office issued a Red Flag Warning for the eastern and southern borders of Jackson County and the southern portion of Josephine County until 9 p.m. today. A smaller chance for thunderstorms is present across the rest of both counties. The storms moving in this afternoon and evening are already active in central California this morning.
