In-ground Safety Shelter

Where do you go when a tornado warning is issued—and your building doesn't have a designated storm shelter?

New NOAA-funded research from the University of Missouri will examine the tornado sheltering challenges faced by people living in apartments and multifamily housing, including access to safe shelter, preparedness planning and the barriers residents may face during severe weather.

It's an important area of tornado-safety research. For people living without a basement or designated shelter, identifying the safest available option before severe weather arrives can make a critical difference.

We're looking forward to seeing what this research finds and how it may help communities improve tornado preparedness and shelter access.
