What is ISO and how can it affect my Insurance?

The Insurance Services Office, or ISO, is a New Jersey based, private data collection and risk analysis corporation that collects data and then assigns a Public Protection Classification (PPC) from 1 to 10 to communities throughout the United States.  This data is sold to insurance companies to help determine fire insurance premiums.  The ISO Public Protection Classification (PPC) is a fire risk rating tool that was originally designed in the early 1900's and is well suited for large commercial buildings in an urban environment.  The ISO classification schedule is based on communications (911/dispatch) services (10%), water supply (40%), and the specific fire department resources (50%), and requirements of the sixth largest non-fire sprinklered building in the jurisdiction.

ISO’s PPC does not evaluate or credit the historical effectiveness of a community’s fire protection services.

ISO’s PPC does not evaluate or credit paramedic or medical services.

ISO’s PPC does not evaluate or credit rescue services.

ISO’s PPC does not evaluate or credit interface and wildfire resources.

ISO’s PPC is limited to 5 miles from a fire station.

The Insurance Services Office Public Protection Classification (ISO-PPC) for the Silverton Fire District, including the Silverton and Scotts Mills communities will change from a Class 4 to a Class 3 in those areas that are within 5 road miles of an SRFPD #2  station.
