Risk Alert

Learning from experience is an excellent technique, but when it comes to risk management issues, it can be an expensive and dangerous one.

Risk Alert is a tool designed to allow all religious organizations to learn from the losses of others.

As Church Mutual studies the claims filed by our customers, looking at individual losses and identifying trends, we are developing loss control techniques to reduce the risk of those losses. Those techniques will be published in our Risk Alert series.

New Risk Alert bulletins will be added to this site on a regular basis. Please click on the name of the Alert to view an HTML version and the PDF link next to the Alert to view a PDF version.
