Resources

• The impact of municipal fire protection and insured property loss on your book of business — ISO works with municipal fire authorities and other community officials to administer the Public Protection Classification (PPCTM ) program. The program assesses a community’s ability to suppress fires, and those ratings directly affect property insurance values.

• ISO‘s High-Risk Notification Service Alerts Insurers to Hazards — ISO offers its High-Risk Notification Service countrywide — alerting insurers of imminent hazards that present higher potential for loss. Risk control managers at major insurance companies believe the program has already improved their bottom line.
