INSURANCE COVERAGE

All SAR members are required to carry personal vehicle insurance according to State law. All
members must also carry personal medical insurance or show their ability to meet any
financial obligations to receive medical care. While on duty, members are covered under State
Worker's Compensation insurance under the Disaster Service Worker Act. The County of
San Diego will provide legal representation, at no cost, in the event you fall into litigation as
the result of duties you may perform for the Department. The County also provides certain
coverage for replacing uniforms and some equipment which may become lost or stolen while
on duty.
