Verisk/ISO Community Hazard Mitigation works to foster an active relationship with fire departments, building departments, water suppliers, and communities with two programs:
First, FireLine® is Verisk’s address-level wildfire risk assessment tool that provides a score of 0–30, with the 30 being the highest risk and 0 being negligible risk. The score is derived from an objective assessment of structure’s propensity to burn in the event of a wildfire based on the most current assessment of vegetative fuels, slope, and road access. FireLine risk scores are available in the following U.S. states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. www.verisk.com/solutions/extreme-event-risk/natural-hazard-risk-response/wildfire-mitigation
Second, your participation in our Verisk/ISO-Public Protection Classification (PPC™) program is critical in attaining our shared goal: safer communities. To learn more, go to www.isomitigation.com. PPC is an evaluation program that provides important information on the quality of public fire protection in nearly 38,000 fire protection areas across the United States. We analyze fire departments, water supply systems, emergency communications, and community risk reduction efforts and assign a PPC grade from 1 (superior property fire protection) to 10 (does not meet ISO’s minimum criteria).
