"well now there's a more comfortable way to wait out a storm..."

"StormBlocker^® helps us out tremendously by doing a framing layout on our plans and sending it back to us. This allows us to just drop the storm shelter design into our plans."

"StormBlocker^® is easily incorporated into our designs because our room sizes don’t have to be changed to accommodate the product. We don’t lose square footage for storm protection."

"I like the StormBlocker^® system because it’s not a prefab unit. We are able to build our shelter to the exact size of the original room design."

"The StormBlocker^® staff was very helpful. They visited the construction site as we began framing the house to provide guidance to the framers and they also briefed my framing crew at their offices where a completed room was available."

"We live in a tornado and hurricane prone area and I want to have a safe place for my family if one hits. The information on StormBlocker makes me believe that it will withstand more than mere concrete blocks, which was our first choice."

"Our storm room is our Master Closet and we use it every day. It is decorated and finished the same as every other room in the home. It doesn’t look any different, but is a safe haven for our family, giving us peace-of-mind."

"Our shelter was built in new construction and the staff of StormBlocker helped with the blue print design as well as the construction when the house was being built."

"Everyone thought you had to have a basement or a cellar to survive a tornado and that it had to be underground, but we determined that it was possible to design an above-ground shelter that is relatively economical. A strong room with certain criteria can help a person to survive."

"In hurricanes, shelters are important because of the associated strong winds. Additional problems in hurricane regions exist because the traditional response to hurricanes is evacuation. Yet, in many areas, particularly in Florida, with the population explosion, evacuation is not a viable alternative. With our shelter designs, there are houses and buildings outside the flood and surge zones that could protect people who stay in place."

"In regards to the time it would take to get into a safe room, the majority of people believe that it should be less than one minute."

"As population continues to expand in threatened regions it is important to understand who is most likely to demand the safety provided by shelters. In this way, public policy can direct their efforts at residents who are in the greatest need."

"A vast majority of those surveyed believe it is extremely important to have a safe room."
