Risk management is the process of identifying exposures that could
lead to financial loss and formulating and implementing strategies
to minimize their adverse effects on the organization’s mission.
The County chooses to self-fund most exposures to loss. Injuries
to employees (workers’ compensation), automobile accidents
and other liability exposures are examples of the types of exposures
that are self-funded.
Property loss exposures are commercially insured above a large
deductible.
