About Us

What we do

Providing service to our clients is Risk Management’s top priority. Whether we are restoring a building destroyed by fire, defending a state employee that is sued for doing his job, or replacing a damaged vehicle, our goal is to help our agencies quickly and efficiently.

Risk Management (Risk) acts as the State’s Property and Casualty Insurance Manager. Risk was created by the Idaho Legislature to protect and conserve the state’s human and physical assets. We do this by using the most cost effective blend of insurance products and self-retention. The breadth and depth of Risk’s offering is substantial and reaches across all of state government.

Covered entities include state agencies or their subsidiaries, any entity under the state’s control for which it assumes active management, Idaho public health districts, state employees, members of boards of commissions, state universities and colleges, authorized volunteers and elected or appointed officials. Our covered entities are diverse in their composition of risk exposures and each has very unique concerns.

Our Risk staff is dedicated to identifying and providing effective programs to both reduce exposure to loss and to control the cost of loss.
