Disaster doesn’t discriminate on the basis of nationality, gender or race. No one is immune to the cataclysms that weather and insidious forces manifest without warning. Even when precautionary weather forecasts perform due diligence in ensuring the message of impending doom is broadcasted far and near, we never can entirely escape the sidewinding sickle of peril. There’s no reason to go unprotected. U.S. Safe Room can help you find ways to buy a storm shelter.
Fortunately, we humans are pretty resilient creatures. We seem to express little trepidation in picking up the pieces and moving forward when life deals us an excruciating blow. While we are powerless to stop catastrophic weather events, such as hurricanes and tornadoes, we have put in place countermeasures that can help us weather any storm and slowly rebuild the life we once had.
Government assistance for home improvements, including storm shelters
Recently, this forethought and the need for mercy was recognized in North Carolina by Gov. Roy Cooper in response to the disaster wielded by Hurricane Dorian. In response, the U.S. Small Business Association made low-interest loans available for those who had property damaged or lost to Hurricane Dorian. This declaration covers more than a dozen counties in North Carolina.
“Loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible for loans up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property,”
Kem Fleming, center director of SBA’s Field Operations Center East in Atlanta.
Low interest loans can help fund above ground shelters
Qualifying applicants may be eligible for a loan amount increase up to 20 percent of their physical damages or make improvements to their homes to pay for damage from future storms. Such improvements may include a safe room or storm shelter.
At U.S. Safe Room, we applaud the efforts of the USBA and we couldn’t think of a better investment than an above ground shelter to protect your loved ones from future Dorians. While home repairs can exceed more than $100,000, we must remind you that while your home can be replaced, the life of a loved one cannot. Don’t wait for the worst to happen.
