Terrorism - Insurance Services Office Forms

TERRORISM–INSURANCE SERVICES OFFICE (ISO) FORMS

(August 2018)

This article provides a list and descriptions of the many ISO Countrywide Terrorism endorsements. Due to the many state exceptions it is important to reference the ISO Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 to determine the exact forms that apply in a particular state.

Certified Act of Terrorism

The one phrase used consistently throughout all these endorsements is “certified act of terrorism.” The definition refers to TRIA requiring the Secretary of Treasury to use that Act’s criteria to certify an incident. The definition then explains that, to be certified, losses must exceed $5 million, be violent or dangerous to infrastructure or to individuals and must be intended to coerce the government or the population of the U.S. to take certain actions.

 

Example: The World Trade Center attack of 1993. The loss exceeded $5 million. The goal was to coerce the civilian population and the government.

Example: During the 1960s anti-war protests were common but a radical group called the Weathermen took the protests to a new level when they began bombing university buildings. The bombings happened after the buildings were emptied so injuries were limited but damage was extensive.
