When severe weather strikes, the safety of your family or employees hinges on the reliability of your storm shelter. Choosing an NSSA-certified shelter is essential for anyone committed to ensuring maximum storm protection and peace of mind.

What Does NSSA Certification Mean?

The National Storm Shelter Association (NSSA) ensures that certified storm shelters meet stringent standards for safety and durability. This certification includes compliance with:

• FEMA Guidelines: Meeting FEMA P-361 and P-320 standards for storm and tornado shelters.
• ICC 500 Standards: Ensuring shelters can withstand debris impact and extreme wind conditions.
• Testing by the National Wind Institute (NWI): Verifying the shelter's ability to handle EF-5 tornado winds exceeding 250 mph.

Why NSSA Certification Matters

1. Proven Safety Standards: NSSA-certified shelters are designed to withstand the worst tornadoes and hurricanes.
2. Peace of Mind: With certification, you know your shelter has passed rigorous testing for wind and debris impact resistance.
3. Long-Term Value: A certified storm shelter can add value to your home or business property.
