General rules for use

All claims involving property loss or damage must be immediately reported to the Office of Risk Management and Environmental Health and Safety as our insurance requires us to meet reporting requirements.  We have a responsibility to mitigate our loss and to protect property from further loss or damage.

Losses due to theft, break-in or vandalism are criminal acts and must be immediately reported to the University of Oregon Police Department.
