How to Report a Property Loss

  • Report stolen or vandalized property to Radford University Police Department at 540-831-5500 as soon as loss is discovered.
  • Report losses that have caused and/or may continue to cause damage to property to Radford University Facilities Management at 540-831-7800.
  • In the case of an active event (such as a fire, weather event such as tornado, flooding, etc.) The first priority is always personal safety. Inform first responders (police/fire/rescue) aware of anyone who may be in harm’s way (such as a building/structure/vehicle).
  • If safe to do so, take measures to ensure the damage does not continue. (Example, if water is leaking into an area, cover/move files, furniture, etc. out of area or away from water.) 
  • Take photos of the damaged area if/when safe to do so.
  • As soon as possible, refer to the Incident Checklist.  Complete the Incident Report form within 3 days of the discovery of the incident and submit to Risk Management by email.
  • Complete the Property Claims packet within 3 months of the incident and submit to Risk Management by email.
  • Contact the Radford University Office of Risk Management at 540-831-7204 for further information.
