Mandate Tornado Shelters in All New Oklahoma Homes


Mandate Tornado Shelters in All New Oklahoma Homes
The Issue
Oklahoma is situated in the heart of Tornado Alley, experiencing an average of 62 tornadoes annually. These natural disasters pose a significant threat to life and property.
Installing tornado shelters in all newly built homes can drastically reduce fatalities and injuries during such events. According to FEMA, having a safe room or storm shelter can provide near-absolute protection during extreme weather conditions. By mandating tornado shelters in new constructions, we can ensure the safety and well-being of Oklahoma residents.
