Getting your own disaster shelter is a smart investment for people living in areas prone to destructive storms. Personal storm shelters are easy to install and provide a range of benefits for your home and family. Consider a few of them below.

Benefits of Storm Shelters

1. Protection

Oklahoma is well-known for its intense thunderstorms and tornadoes, which numbered 85 in 2017. Homes are not designed to withstand the kind of force these high winds can bring to bear, which poses a risk to you and your family. A storm shelter, on the other hand, is meant to stay put during a storm and to resist impact from flying debris.

2. Increase Property Value

Because Oklahoma residents are well educated in the dangers of local storms, they value a property that has its own storm shelter, making this an appealing feature for potential buyers. Not only will you get use out of this investment, but you can reasonably expect a good return for it upon resale.

3. Instant Peace of Mind

A storm shelter installation is quick and convenient, even if you are having it placed below ground. Many are completed in less than a day. And once erected, its presence will provide you with instant peace of mind knowing your family will be safe should extreme weather surface; after all, getting to a community shelter might not be possible when faced with a looming storm. If you wish, you can also extend your storm shelter's protection to nearby relatives or neighbors since they are usually built to hold ten people comfortably.
