Through the Public Protection
Classification (PPCTM) program,
Insurance Services Organization, ISO, evaluates municipal fire-protection
efforts in communities throughout the
United
States. A community's investment in fire mitigation is a proven and reliable predictor
of future fire losses. So insurance companies use PPC information to help establish
fair premiums for fire insurance â generally offering lower premiums in communities
with better protection. Many communities use the PPC as a benchmark for measuring
the effectiveness of their fire-protection services.
In each ISO analyzes the relevant data using a Fire Suppression Rating Schedule. A Public Protection Classification is
then assigned, ranging from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents exemplary public protection,
and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire-suppression program doesn't meet ISO's
minimum criteria. The PPC program is also a tool that helps communities plan for,
budget, and justify improvements.
