Above-Ground Safe Rooms in Joplin
A steel or concrete room inside your home.
A safe room sits above ground. It can go in a garage, inside a large closet, or in a brand new room, and it's a good choice for anyone who has trouble handling steps.
Tested safe rooms are designed to survive extremely high winds and flying debris. Look for products that have been tested to the FEMA P-361 guidelines or the ICC 500 standard.
The room has to be anchored to a strong concrete slab, so the installer will check your floor carefully before anything else happens.
