Division of Risk Management
Dane County Risk Management’s mission is to protect Dane County Departments’ employees, the general public and the
County’s assets from a variety of losses. We do this by (a) working with staff, supervisors and Department Heads to
identify risks, and (b) ensuring that identified risks are eliminated, accepted (and possible damage reduced as much
as possible) and/or transferred to another party.
