Home/Production/Safe Rooms
Production Division
Safe rooms, built to the tested standard.
A pre-built safe room installed in your home, garage or yard, built to the criteria FEMA and the ICC 500 shelter standard set for tornadoes and hurricanes.
Packages
Three ways
to place it.
The right placement depends on the house, the ground and how fast your household needs to reach it. Every option is anchored and certified to the same criteria.
In-residence safe room
Built into a closet, a bathroom or a basement corner, so it doubles as a room you use every day.
- Steel or reinforced concrete walls
- Rated door and hardware
- Anchored to an engineered slab
Garage safe room
A factory-built steel room set in the garage, the fastest to install in an existing home.
- Set on the existing slab or a new footing
- Anchoring engineered for the slab
- Reached without going outside
In-ground shelter
Below grade beside or under the home, where the soil itself adds debris protection.
- Sited above any flood path
- Anchored against groundwater
- Ventilation and a second way out

Questions
Before
you buy.
What standard should a safe room meet?
FEMA P-320 says storm shelters and safe rooms must meet all ICC 500 requirements. FEMA's criteria design for a 250 mph wind regardless of location, and walls are tested by firing a 15-pound 2x4 at them at 100 mph.
Does FEMA certify safe rooms?
No. FEMA does not test or certify products. Manufacturers certify to ICC 500 and label their products, and the National Storm Shelter Association verifies producers that meet its process.
Can a safe room go in the ground anywhere?
No. FEMA does not support placing safe rooms where floodwater could endanger the people inside, and in-ground units must be anchored so rising groundwater cannot push them up.
