The Cost of Shelter In Place at Home
Do storm shelters save lives? The picture above is of Sherry Wells, a Moore, OK resident who had just purchased a storm shelter from Smart Shelters Tornado Shelters a couple of weeks before the horrific event. Here’s what she said when interviewed by Yahoo News: “If it wasn’t for the hand of God and the cellar, we wouldn’t be here,” Wells said as she sorted through the rubble of her home on that dreadful day. She went on to add “it’s the best thing ever!” A couple of days after being interviewed she visited the showroom to hug our necks and thank us.
We hear it all the time “I wouldn’t have a storm shelter installed inside the garage because all the debris would stack on top of the lid and how would I get out?” WRONG! (respectfully). That’s why it’s a requirement to obtain a storm shelter permit in most but not all cities. The primary purpose of the storm shelter permit is to log the GPS coordinates. Emergency response professionals will know to look if a tornado hits your area. Another good rule of thumb is to notify co-workers, family, and neighbors you have a tornado storm shelter inside the garage. That will ensure there’ll be a lot of people searching and you’ll get out fast if assistance is needed.
