Know Your Risk And Have A Safe Place To Go… with Time to Get There
When extreme weather threatens, individuals and families need advance warning and protection from the dangerous forces of extreme winds. Individuals and communities in tornado and hurricane areas need structurally sound safe rooms and early alert systems.
FEMA strongly encourages homeowners and communities to build safe rooms but cannot endorse or approve specific manufacturers or producers. Disclaimer.

A small interior room above grade is the best location for a safe room. Safe rooms can also double for other non-emergency purposes.
