What is a Tornado Storm Shelter?

A tornado storm shelter, also known as a tornado shelter or safe room, is a fortified structure designed to provide protection against the devastating forces of tornadoes and severe storms. These shelters are constructed to withstand high winds, flying debris, and other hazards associated with tornadoes, offering occupants a secure haven during dangerous weather events.

Storm Shelter Options

At JT Services, we understand that every family’s requirements are unique. That’s why we offer a diverse selection of tornado storm shelters to accommodate various budgets, preferences, and space limitations. From compact above-ground shelters ideal for fitting into a garage to spacious underground bunkers capable of housing large families, we have options to suit every scenario.

Concrete Shelters

We offer a diverse range of concrete shelter options to meet various needs and preferences. Our models include the Champion, Defender, Fortress, and Vortex XL, ensuring that every family can find a shelter suited to their requirements. These shelters feature FEMA-compliant impact doors, reinforced walls and floors, and waterproofed concrete for exceptional durability.

Our concrete storm shelters are equipped with multi-vent ventilation systems to maintain air quality, and some models are wheelchair accessible. Additionally, decorative options are available, and doors are poured in place for added strength and safety during storms while remaining easy to open with gas-assisted actuators.

Steel Safe Rooms

For top-tier storm protection and security, our steel safe rooms are an excellent choice. Swift installation options include outdoor placement on a suitable slab, integration into a garage, or incorporation into a new home, typically taking just one day to complete. Our Patriot Steel Safe Rooms are renowned for their durable construction and come with a 10-year warranty for long-term peace of mind.

Community Safe Rooms

Understanding the unique risks posed by severe weather in Oklahoma, we encourage the installation of community safe rooms. These essential shelters are designed to support residents in apartments, mobile home parks, and areas with high foot traffic, offering indispensable protection and a sense of security during storms.

Survivor Shelters, now a part of JT Services, has long been committed to ensuring families are equipped to face severe weather with confidence. Our storm shelters are engineered to meet or exceed FEMA guidelines for tornado safety, offering reliable protection when it’s needed most.
