Frequently Asked Questions

• Are we FEMA approved or recommended?
• No one is FEMA approved but we are FEMA compliant. 
• FEMA 361 and ICC 500
• Is above as safe as below? 
• They are actually safer. There are cases of people being trapped in their underground shelter due to debris on the door or opening. There is a chance, if in hurricane prone areas, of flooding due to the amount of water that comes down in a hurricane versus a tornado.  
• Which shelters are less expensive?
• Above-ground shelters are significantly cheaper than below-ground. 
• Do you have a safe room?
• Above-ground shelters starting at the 4x6/6x4 and up double as safe rooms as they are built with ¼” ballistic grade steel. The 4x4 is made of the same steel but due to the locking mechanism, it does not double as a saferoom. 
• Are your shelters tested?
• All of our shelters are tested at the Texas Tech Wind Institute for wind and debris. They are all rated for EF5 Tornados and to withstand 250 MPH winds. 
• Will the delivery include putting my shelter in place?
• No, our delivery company is advertised as a curbside service. The customer will need a way to move the shelter to their desired location. 
• How will I know how to install the shelter?
• We will provide installation information and specs. There will be a hammer-drill required if the shelter is above-ground. We send all required hardware. 
• What about phone service in the shelter? 
• The service you have in your shelter is dependent upon your area and the type of service you already have. If you already do not have good service, more than likely, you will not have good service in the shelter. 
• How does the GeoLocator service work?
• In a sense, the customer will provide us with 3 wellness contacts (emergency contacts). If there is a tornado warning in their area, we will call the customer 3 times. If we are unable to make contact, we will call their wellness contacts. If they are still unable to make contact, we will contact the local EMA or Fire Department and make them aware of the fact that we have a shelter at XXXX location and have not been able to makcontact so that they can ensure the customer and their family are safe.
• We are the largest producer member for the NSSA.
• NSSA has never had a shelter fail in the event of a tornado. 
• Our shelters are American made.  
• GarageCubes are not waterproof due to their ventilation on the top of the shelter. They are not designed to be in an open slab. 
• Are your shelters ADA compliant?
• The Extreme 6x4/4x6 and larger models do offer an ADA compliant, in-ward swinging door.
• Are your shelters engineered?
• We do have engineering for our shelters as well as the slab specifications for the shelters.
