Survive-A-Storm manufactures a range of storm shelters, starting with the TwisterPod. Although it looks like a futuristic portable restroom, the TwisterPod is a reinforced steel tornado shelter that accommodates up to six people.
Taking a slightly different approach to storm shelter solutions, Tornado Alley Armor has a variety of shapes and sizes available. The most innovative but not necessarily practical design is the Lifesaver Workbench.
Regardless of how desperate you might be for some solid storm protection, you still need to play by the rules. In some states, that means applying for a building permit before constructing an outdoor, above-ground storm shelter.
Whether you opt for an interior safe room or an external tornado shelter, structural integrity is vital, which is why you should only consider storm shelters that meet the criteria laid out by the FEMA and ICC.

Whether a disaster comes in the form of a tornado, earthquake, flood, or fire, the key to survival is to be prepared, and that includes having an emergency kit already in place. Here are some of the most important things to have ready in your FamilySAFE storm shelter or safe room:
So, do you need a storm shelter? It depends where you live in the country. If you live in states such as Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa, and the surrounding states, it is most likely an investment you should make. While basements can be safer than other places during storms, they can still be extremely vulnerable and dangerous in situations where the rest of your home is coming to pieces due to a tornado.
When you stop to think about it, do underground storm shelters actually offer more benefits and more safety features than properly constructed and certified above ground shelters? We think not. There is no data that backs the idea that underground shelters provide a significant advantage over above ground safe rooms.

Fain Storm Shelters is one of the oldest and largest precast storm shelter companies in the south. We are a family owned and operated business. Our home office is located in Jackson, Tennessee, and this is also where the storm shelters are manufactured. Our company has been in the business of manufacturing, selling, and installing concrete storm shelters for more than three generations. Today there are a lot of materials used for making storm shelters, but the question is "How long do they last?". Concrete will be there for decades.
The U.S. has more storms & tornadoes that cause loss of life than any other place on earth. That's why it makes sense to buy a storm shelter. THE PROBLEM IS 99% of people never use them. That's why Sportsman Steel designed the first 3-in-1 Security Shelter. When it's not being used as a storm shelter, it doubles as a Walk-In Vault & Safe Room for securing weapons, precious metals & household belongs. And since our shelters are constructed with 2" Step Doors & 6000 Degree Concrete they make for amazing fireproof gun safes. All our vault rooms are FEMA Compliant & Texas Tech Approved.
