Fire Protection Risk Assessment

LOCATION PPC and LOCATION PPS

Measure fire protection more accurately for the risks you insure

Properties can be misclassified for many reasons, and the correct classification may change from one policy term to the next. Every week, fire stations open or close; automatic-aid agreements are signed or dissolved. 

Drawing on a strong foundation of fire protection measurement

Verisk constantly innovates to better assess fire protection and help insurers rate and underwrite more accurately. At the core of our solutions is the industry-standard Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS), a manual of criteria to review community-level fire prevention and suppression capabilities. But there’s much more to Verisk’s evaluation:

LOCATION® Public Protection Classification® (PPC) – the gold standard in community-based fire protection scoring

LOCATION® Public Protection Classification® (PPC) – the gold standard in community-based fire protection scoring

Understanding details such as the types and capabilities of local fire departments, the nature and accessibility of water supplies, and the distance from a property to the nearest responding fire station can help insurers select and price risk more accurately.
