-Solution Utilizes the American Association of Insurance Services Criteria and Methodologies to Help Insurers Better Gauge Commercial and Residential Fire Risk-

AUSTIN, Texas, May 20, 2009 - CoreLogic Spatial Solutions, a member of The CoreLogic Corporation (NYSE: FAF) family of companies and a leader in spatial and natural hazard risk solutions, announced today the launch of its Fire Protection Classification (FPC) solution. The FPC solution utilizes CoreLogic Spatial Solutions' parcel-based geocoding along with nationwide fire district databases and combines them with criteria and methodologies set forth by the American Association of Insurance Services (AAIS) to provide insurers with a more accurate solution to better gauge commercial and residential property fire risk.


"CoreLogic's Fire Protection Classification solution sets a new standard in the way fire protection is measured," said Howard Botts, vice president of database development at CoreLogic Spatial Solutions. "Many of the existing solutions on the market today lack the spatial accuracy or use outdated fire station information. Our solution provides insurers with access to superior fire-risk measurements, as well as increased insight into residential and commercial fire exposure."


The FPC solution is used by insurers to assist in the calculation of fire risks based on fire-suppression capabilities. The solution, which is updated regularly for increased accuracy, is comprised of parcel-based geocoding, nationwide fire district coverage, volunteer versus full-time firefighter status, true driving distances and the AAIS methodology to derive a FPC score. Insurance companies will benefit from the precise location of assets provided by the CoreLogic FPC solution to establish fire premiums.


"Combining CoreLogic Spatial Solutions' data with AAIS criteria and methodologies improves the insurance industry's ability to assess and quantify fire risk for residential and commercial assets," said AAIS President Paul Baiocchi. "The Fire Protection Classification solution provides insurers with the ability to use exceedingly accurate risk scores derived from CoreLogic Spatial Solutions' data and analytics and AAIS criteria and methodology."
