Tornado Shelters, Underground Storm Shelters & Cellars

Underground storm shelters and underground storm cellars are designed for natural disasters, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, winter storms, and earthquakes. They do not need the long entrances and 90-degree turns that are required for radiation attenuation in nuclear shelters and are slightly less expensive than the types of emergency shelters that cover `all hazards`. Storm shelters can have short side entrances, or even “stove top” emergency exits coming from the ceiling.
