Departments suffering such damage or loss should notify each of the following offices so that appropriate and timely actions can be taken:

The department incurring the loss should complete an Automobile Loss Notice for University vehicle damages or an Incident Report Form for all other damages and forward it to the Office of Property & Liability Risk Management.
