3 Good Reasons to Invest in a Storm Shelter

3 Good Reasons to Invest in a Storm Shelter

In the recent past, only areas prone to severe natural disasters such as storms considered having storm shelters. However, things are evolving, and every home needs to consider investing in these shelters no matter the emergency lurking.

Some of the reasons you need to invest in a storm shelter include:

1. Protection

When most people hear about storm shelters, the first thing that comes into their minds is safety or protection. If you and your family members feel unsafe for one reason or another, a storm shelter could be just what you need.

Since storms are unpredictable and you don’t know when they might hit or how extreme they will be, a storm shelter for protection could save you the stress. It will ensure that you and your loved ones are ready for severe weather that comes with little or warning. It gives you peace of mind knowing that you will be safe in the event of a storm, tornado, hurricane, earthquake, and other extreme weather conditions.

Most people wonder if they choose an above-ground storm shelter. Even though traditionally they most were underground, above-ground safe shelters are safer. The former may have you asphyxiated from poor ventilation or drowning from water collection due to debris stacking up on the door, trapping them inside.

2. Above the ground safe and storms shelters are safer.

Also, the storm shelter door should open inward. Those opening outward may get blocked by debris, hindering the occupants from moving until everything gets cleared up by the local authorities. The best doors are inward opening and larger than the outside. And that makes it impossible to get pulled through the opening in case of a storm.

The storm shelter will not get blown away.

Storm shelters are secure and safe. They are bolted down to your concrete slab and drilled in a way that they cannot get blown away. It also ensures that the shelter stays in place in case the rest of the house gets torn away from the slab.

If you’re wondering, storm shelters are designed to withstand extreme weather such as tornadoes and tested to ensure that they exceed standards and meet the building code requirements.

The storm shelters are anchored using the Simpson Strong-Tie Wedge-All system. And this secures the room all the time.

3. You can buy a storm shelter room of any size.

If you’re considering a storm shelter for purchase, you have to get any size you want to accommodate your family’s needs. It’s recommended that you take the number of members in your family and pets you want to protect and multiply that by six feet for sitting and 3 feet for standing. That will give you the accurate square footage perfect for your home.

In case you’re wondering how you will all breathe in the space, the best storm shelter company makes safe rooms that meet and exceed FEMA requirements on ventilation. They have a top and bottom door ventilation design that allows for secure and safe ventilation.
