This is accomplished by identifying, evaluating, and controlling loss exposures faced by the University. Our goal is to minimize the adverse effects of unpredictable events. Toward this end, we utilize a number of processes and tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maintain current values for buildings, contents and moveable property.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respond to all property, liability and other casualty losses, initiating investigations and accomplishing the appropriate resolution of all claims<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop programs for loss prevention based on available loss data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coordinate loss control activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Authorize and maintain database of approved drivers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manage special insurance programs (i.e. camps and clinic programs, special event insurance, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review insurance language in vendor and research contracts to control transfer of risk review and approve Certificates of Insurance for vendors and facility users and maintain database of insurance information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain list of buildings damaged by flooding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card
