REPORTING CLAIMS
As you may know, quick reporting plays a critical role in any claim. Furthermore, late-reported claims may be excluded from coverage. It is critical that you report the claim as soon as you discover the damage. Do not wait for damage repair estimates before reporting the claim.
It is important that you do not repair the property before the claim adjustor has had an opportunity to speak with your agency’s risk manager. If there is a possibility of further damage before permanent repairs can begin, perform temporary repairs, e.g. board-up broken windows, protect property if exposed to rain, or get professional help if extensive water damage.

PROPERTY SCHEDULES
All participants in the property program are asked to keep their schedules current and to maintain their accuracy. Since property schedules determine member premiums for property coverage, updates should include adding or deleting buildings, equipment, and vehicles acquired/sold since the schedule was last updated. Additionally, a review of the current values listed for both your property and vehicle schedules should take place. It is further recommended that buildings be appraised every seven to ten years by a professional appraiser to ensure they are properly valued.
Members may access their property schedules on Alliant Insurance Services online "OASYS" system by clicking here. Please contact Craig Williams at Alliant Insurance Services for any assistance with OASYS, including passwords or technical difficulties. Craig may be reached at (949)660-8189 or cwilliams@alliantinsurance.com.
PROPERTY INSPECTIONS
Those members who participate in the property program have the added optional benefit of receiving an annual inspection of buildings that exceed a certain amount, if listed on the member’s property schedule. Members are contacted in the fall by an inspector from Alliant Insurance Services, to schedule the inspection. The inspections are intended to evaluate these buildings for fire protection and engineering risk assessments. While the inspections are useful in assisting with employee safety and sometimes included in the Authority’s Risk Management Evaluations, they are primarily geared toward reducing the risk of damage to the buildings themselves.
BOILER & MACHINERY INSPECTIONS
Those members who participate in the boiler and machinery program are offered inspections of certain pressurized vessels. These inspections are mandated by the State of California. Chubb Insurance, the Authority’s boiler and machinery insurance carrier, will conduct these inspections at no cost to the member, and will help identify ways to prevent losses to valuable equipment. Members are contacted directly by Chubb prior to the expiration of a vessel’s certificate.
