This division provides risk management services to all City departments and the City Council.

What is Risk Management?

In our personal lives we try to stay away from situations that involve the chance of damage or injury to those things or people we love. When these situations cannot be avoided, we typically looks for ways to limit the chance that they could result in harm. For example, when taking a young child to the river for a fun day in the summer we may be aware that there is a risk of drowning and thus place a life jacket on the child to prevent a catastrophe before it can happen.

The practice of risk management in a city is very much the same. The city anticipates what could happen to hurt people, assets, finances, and service capabilities and looks for ways to limit the chance of the damage happening.
