Boston, MA, August 2005 - CDS Business Mapping, LLC a leader in online property risk mapping, today announced that it has added Illinois and Pennsylvania to its Distance to Fire Station report on the RiskMeter Online (www.RiskMeter.com).
This brings the total number of states to twenty-two! The distance between a property and the primary fire station directly affects an insurance carrier’s loss ratio. By simply typing in an address, RiskMeter Online users can get a detailed report that returns: drive distance to responding fire stations, names of the stations and staffing (career or volunteer). What once used to be an error prone and time-consuming process can now be done within a matter of seconds. “The key to underwriting success is being able to quickly assess risk,” explains James Munson, Director of Consulting Services, CDS Business Mapping. “The Distance to Fire Station report will immediately guide carriers to decide whether a location is protected or not. Regardless of the training, personnel or equipment at a station, if an insured location is greater than 5 miles from a station, the chance of a large loss is inevitable. This report will quickly verify the distance from responding jmunson@cdsys.com
