Tornado Safe Rooms: An Insider's Guide

Last Updated: July 28, 2016 Throughout tornado alley there are thousands of storm shelter companies claiming that their product is superior to all other competitors on the market.    Their statements say something like "can deliver more protection for less than other companies that have come and gone over the years" and "the most innovative storm shelter systems on the market today".  With so many claims to be superior, it can be confusing and  unclear to consumers who are trying to make the right decisions for choosing tornado safe rooms.  So how does a consumer know what to look for in a storm shelter company?

To begin, always research tornado safe rooms and the companies who build them.

While many companies can claim to be FEMA and ICC-500 compliant, you should make sure the company can back up that assertion.  Also, many companies claim to be members of a storm shelter association that upholds the highest standards.  For instance, the National Storm Shelter Association (NSSA) is the original and most renowned organization that stamps their  seal of approval on tornado shelters that meet their requirements.  The American Tornado Shelter Association is another smaller organization with regulations that " are only required for companies that are selling shelters to customers who have a government rebate".  Choose your supporting organization wisely.    Now that we know there is a high standard for tornado safe rooms that should be met in order to be considered safe, what else sets a company apart?
