The ISO Public Protection Classification (PPC™ ) system provides information about the effectiveness of local fire department response in more than 47,000 fire protection areas around the United States. PPC Reports provide the PPC code, alternative PPC and water supply type (if applicable), corresponding fire protection area name for an address, and supplemental information, such as the name of — and the drive distance to — the responding fire station.
Insurers use PPC information for:
deciding on coverage, deductibles, and pricing for individual homes and businesses
identifying opportunities for writing new business
achieving a reasonable concentration of property risks
ISO updates the PPC database the first day of each month.
Future Effective Public Protection Classification (FEPPC) Reports provide the future PPC for the fire protection area servicing the risk address, effective on a specified future date. Knowing the Future Effective PPC will help you streamline your policy renewal process and get ready for new business. Reports provide alerts up to three months in advance for fire protection areas that will experience a PPC change. The reports also provide Future Effective Dwelling PPC, where applicable.
