Questions & Answers For Installing Tornado Shelters

Q: Why should I invest in a storm shelter?

A: Tornadoes and severe storms can strike with little warning. A storm shelter provides a safe space for you and your family to take cover, significantly increasing your chances to stay safe. Our storm shelters are built to withstand the most powerful storms, meeting FEMA, ATSA, and NSSA safety standards.

Q: What types of storm shelters do you offer?

A:  We provide garage storm shelters, outdoor storm shelters and above-ground safe rooms.

Q: How long does it take to install a storm shelter?

A:  Most installations are completed within a single day depending on the size and placement. Garage shelters require precise cutting into the concrete, while outdoor shelters may take longer due to excavation, placement, and cementing it into the ground.

Q: How many people can fit inside a storm shelter?

A:  Storm shelters come in various sizes, ranging from 6-person units to 14-person storm shelters, ensuring safety for your entire household.


Q: Are your storm shelters FEMA-approved?

A: FEMA does not approve or certify individual storm shelters. FEMA publishes safe-room guidance, while a licensed professional engineer can review and stamp the design drawings to verify that the applicable standards are met.

Q: What happens if I get trapped inside the storm shelter?

A:  Many local emergency management agencies recommend registering your tornado shelter so first responders know where it is located after a storm. Registration requirements vary by location, so homeowners should check with their city or county.

Q: Can I store items in my storm shelter when it’s not in use?

A:  Yes! Many homeowners store emergency supplies like flashlights, water, and non-perishable food inside their shelters. Just be sure to keep enough room to enter quickly when a storm is approaching.
