| A unique feature of the CISA Program is the Loss Prevention & Risk Management benefits |
|
|
Protecting your Association and its financial assets requires a comprehensive risk management program.
Through regular inspections of the property provided by an independent third party; subsequent loss prevention recommendations are generated to help the Association maintain its property, keep its residents and guests safe while saving the Association money over the long term.
• Proper maintenance eliminates costly repairs• Project future risks through loss control recommendations
• Avoid special assessments through Reserve Studies as recommended by loss control• Minimize downtime in the event of a disaster
• Control premiums by controlling claims |
|
It is worth noting that all property insurance policies exclude coverage for wear & tear. Therefore, it’s in the Associations best interest to maintain the property rather than pay for costly repairs and replacements. |

FACTS
• Each year, nearly 3,000 people die in U.S. home fires
• 40% of those U.S. home fires did not have smoke detectors
• In 2009, fires caused an estimated $12.5 billion in property damage
• The National Insurance Crime Bureau reports that questionable slip
and falls claims have risen from 325 in the first quarter of 2008 to
997 in the first half of 2010. Many suspect the weakened financial
economy is the cause for the spike in suspicious and questionable
claims | CONCLUSION
Properties that are properly maintained and have the best possible life safety measures in place have fewer claims. So let us help your Association take a proactive approach to maintaining your property to reduce and prevent fire deaths, injuries, and property loss. |
