While quickly extinguished, fire damaged one room of the building while water damaged much of the rest. Luckily they were back to business practically overnight with help from Agility Recovery and VMLIP.

2011 – 2012 grant funding distributed

VML Insurance Programs (VMLIP) Risk Management Grant program has distributed all available funds – this year within 89 days, a record. VMLIP awarded 93 members with $177,000 in Risk Management Grant funding, reserving an additional $23,000 for recipients of 2011 Risk Management Awards. Reimbursements were based on criteria such as program coverage, premium level, Risk Management Guidelines assessment needs, as well as submission date and availability of funding.

Each year VMLIP provides Risk Management Grant funding to members for the purchase of vital equipment and training to strengthen risk management programs which may otherwise be cost prohibitive. Risk management programs, and support of those efforts, are a critical part of effectively managing a governmental entity, and the 93 entities taking part should be commended for their risk management awareness.
