STORM SHELTER / STORM SHELTER ABOVE GROUND
9/13/2013 12:00:00 AM
Safe rooms or shelters should be constructed to FEMA 320 or International Code Council/National Storm Shelter Association standards (ICC-500). National Storm Shelter Association is a good resource for verification of vendors. FEMA also has some good information on their website.
The Zoning Ordinance requires two parking spaces within the building for each residence. Installing a safe room in the garage could compromise the minimum required parking of 18'X20' unless you have an oversized or three car garage.
Standards for the construction and installation of storm shelters/safe rooms have been established by FEMA, the International Code Council and National Storm Shelter Association. It is best to make sure that any contractor is certified through the National Storm Shelter Association or American Tornado Shelter Association.
