I SO’s Public Protection Classification Program
ISO’s Public Protection Classification Program plays an important role in the underwriting process at insurance companies. The program is often used by insurance companies in deciding what coverages to offer or prices to charge for personal or commercial property insurance. The goal of the program is to accurately reflect a community’s fire suppression and control resources. This program is re-evaluated every 5 years and evaluated standards must be maintained to meet the increasing demands of a growing community.
