Less than 60 communities and cities in the United States have achieved an ISO rating of 1, according to The Woodlands Township.
"The township has been working toward this goal for many years," said township chairman Bruce Tough.
Better ISO scores could mean lower insurance premiums for homeowners and businesses, Tough said.
