Is It Possible to Establish a Human Colony in a Flare Star System?

I am thinking about using Groombridge 1618 as a setting for my world. It is a main sequence star of spectral type K7.5 Ve, 67% of the Sun's mass. The habitable zone is at a radius of 0.26"“0.56 AU. There is a possibility that it has a gas giant around it. It also might have a cold debris disk which I can use for raw materials.

It looks like a great location for my story and fits my plot nicely. However, Groombridge 1618 is a flare star. I am not sure how it would affect a human colony on a moon of a gas giant and terraforming attempts.
