Storm Shelters in Carthage, MO
Shelter and safe room requests for Carthage and east Jasper County.
Carthage is the county seat of Jasper County, a short drive east of Joplin, and if you live here you already know what storm season can bring.
Most people here choose between three kinds of shelter: an underground one in the yard or garage, a steel one bolted to a slab, or a safe room built right into the house.
Check with the City of Carthage about permits before any work starts. If you live outside town, ask Jasper County instead.

Where do I register my shelter?
