Tornado protection close to home
Southwest Missouri sits in a high-risk area for tornadoes and severe wind. Many homes here are built on slabs without basements, and public shelters can be a drive away when a warning comes in at night. A shelter at home means you can reach safety in seconds.
Underground storm shelters
In-ground shelters buried in your yard, built to keep your family below the storm.
Garage floor storm shelters
Shelters installed under your garage slab, so you can get to safety without going outside.

Common questions
Is an above-ground safe room as safe as an underground shelter?
When it's designed, tested and installed to FEMA P-320 or P-361 and the ICC 500 standard, an above-ground safe room is built to protect against extreme tornado winds and debris. The key is a tested design and correct anchoring to the slab.
Do I need a permit?
It depends on where you live and the type of shelter. Rules differ between cities and the county, so your installer should check the requirements for your address.
How long does installation take?
Garage and above-ground units often go in within a day or two. Underground shelters can take longer, especially if the crew hits rock.
What if someone in my home uses a wheelchair?
Above-ground safe rooms with step-free, wide doors are usually the best fit. Underground and garage shelters rely on stairs or ladders.
Will an underground shelter flood?
A properly installed shelter is sealed, anchored and placed with drainage in mind. Ask installers how they handle water and rock on your lot.
Are there rebates for storm shelters?
Rebate and grant programs come and go, often after major disasters. Check with your county emergency management office to see what's available.
