Basements

If you don’t have a FamilySAFE Shelters storm shelter or safe room, finding a basement can provide safety during a tornado. Basements can shield people from high winds and flying debris. If you don’t have a basement, consider finding a safe spot on the lowest level of your home, away from windows and doors.

Internal Closets or Bathrooms

Finding an internal closet or bathroom can also be an option if all else fails. It’s important to avoid rooms with exterior walls, as these walls are more likely to be damaged during a tornado. Stay away from windows and doors, and cover yourself with a mattress or blanket.

Having a safe space during a tornado is crucial, and FamilySAFE Shelters offers various options to protect you and your family. By investing in a safe room or underground storm shelter, you can ensure that you’re protected during the storm.
