Taxonomy: Community Storm Shelters

Programs that provide temporary shelter in facilities that are designed or retrofitted to withstand tornado or hurricane force winds and sited away from potential debris hazards for people whose own homes or workplaces may be unsafe in extreme weather events. Included are single-purpose, stand-alone facilities specifically built as severe storm refuges and multipurpose buildings such as schools and hospitals with pre-identified safe areas that are opened to the public during severe weather.
