What action should we take if we suspect Employee or Vendor are stealing?
Report your suspicions to the Risk Manager or Director of your Agency IMMEDIATELY. Documentation to support suspected thefts should be forwarded to DOAS Risk Management as quickly as possible. 

We had a thunderstorm and saw the lightning.  Why is a Lightning Affidavit necessary?
Visible lightning does not support that damage was caused by lightning.  Information provided in the Lightning Affidavit will assist in confirming if lightning actually caused the damage(s).   A Lightning Affidavit must be submitted on ALL Lightning claims; and the Lightning Affidavit must be completed by a Certified Electrician.

Why is it important to call a company such as ServPro after a water damage loss? Our facilities people are experienced in removing water.
DOAS supports the timely water damage responses by agency personnel; however, DOAS is concerned with the extraction of moisture that often remains within the interior walls that may cause future damage if this extraction is not performed by professionals. 

So, since we don't secure any of our computers/laptops in the building, if someone takes one, it's not covered?
Mysterious Disappearance is NOT COVERED.  In order for coverage to apply for this exposure, it must meet the Burglary conditions in which forced entry and/or forced removal of covered property is evident.

Why can't the Risk Coordinator/Manager sign and notarize the Sworn Proof of Loss form? 
The Sworn Proof of Loss Form requires that the agency's highest ranking official certify that all Conditions of the Agreement have been met. The Sworn Proof of Loss form must be notarized.
