Safe tornado shelters protect families during severe weather outbreaks. Although hurricanes are better known for surging storm waters and freakish winds, these tropical systems can also spawn tornados. While Hurricane Milton failed to produce widespread destruction, like it’s predecessor, Helene, the October maelstrom shot off nearly 50 tornadoes along the Florida peninsula. Florida emergency response management officials are urging civic participation during Severe Weather Awareness Week. A tornado should never catch families or companies off-guard. You should develop an emergency preparedness plan for all weather events. U.S. Safe Room’s above-ground shelter models can complement robust safety plans for any eventuality.
What to Do During a Tornado?
Tornados don’t owe anyone the courtesy of advanced notice during storm season. Tornadoes occur nationwide. A widening Tornado Alley subjects millions to wanton destruction. Steel protection is the best panacea for destructive tornadoes. Safety experts also concur affected residents should shelter between multiple interior walls while avoiding doors and windows. Although a safe tornado shelter is your best recourse for ad hoc protection, a bathroom or closet are a last resort against destructive forces.
What is a Safe Tornado Shelter?
A safe tornado shelter is an enclosed metal structure designed to withstand 250-mile-per-hour winds and flying debris. Contractors can install above or below-ground tornado shelters with minimal infrastructural disturbance. While residential construction prominently features brick and concrete, steel constitutes all U.S. Safe Room shelters. Above-ground safe tornado shelters are ideal for basements, garages, pantries, or closets. Residential or commercial floor plans can incorporate a tornado safe room.
