Above Ground Tornado Shelters

A FamilySAFE Above Ground Tornado Shelter is a secure space that can provide safety during a tornado. Our safe rooms are built to FEMA standards and can be customized to fit your needs. Above Ground Tornado Safe Rooms can be constructed indoors or outdoors and can be made from materials like reinforced steel or concrete, ensuring your safety during the storm. Plus, they are easily accessible and you can access them quickly.

Underground Storm Shelters

FamilySAFE Shelters offers a variety of underground storm shelters to protect you during a tornado. Our underground shelters are made of high-quality steel and can withstand F4 and F5 tornadoes. By having an underground storm shelter, you and your family can have peace of mind knowing that you’re safe during the storm.

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. Contact FamilySAFE Shelters to learn more about our high-quality storm shelters and safe rooms, and have peace of mind knowing that you’re prepared for severe weather.
