In Oklahoma, where tornadoes and severe storms are a common occurrence, having a storm shelter can give you peace of mind and protect you and your family during a natural disaster.

This guide will walk you through the steps involved in the storm shelter installation process, including research, permits, installation, and registration.

storm shelter options

The first step in the storm shelter installation process is to look at the different types of storm shelters we have available. In Oklahoma, precast concrete storm shelters and safe rooms are the most common types of shelters. These shelters are engineered and built to withstand the high winds and debris associated with tornadoes and severe storms. They are also designed to be easy to install and can be placed above or below ground.

When deciding on a storm shelter, it’s important to consider the size of your family, the location of your property, and your budget.
