Storm shelters that stand their ground

FamilySAFE storm shelters have one job: to keep people safe when storms hit. Each shelter is made from heavy-gauge steel, anchored with HILTI systems, and tested to withstand EF5 tornadoes.

From compact residential models to large commercial safe rooms, every detail is built for strength, accessibility, and ease of use. Whether you’re protecting one family or hundreds of students, you’ll find a model that fits your space.

Why folks choose our above-ground storm shelters

For over 25 years, our shelters have proven their worth in the worst weather imaginable. Each one is built with care, engineered for strength, and designed to make safety simple for every household. Here’s what sets a FamilySAFE shelter apart:

Proven EF5 tornado protection

Our shelters have stood through more than a dozen EF4 and EF5 tornadoes without a single failure. Tested at Texas Tech and trusted in the field offering real protection when it matters most.

Built by hand, made to last

Every shelter is welded, assembled, and inspected by certified craftsmen in our Oklahoma facility. They’re not mass-produced; they’re built the right way, one at a time.

Easy access, even in a hurry

Placed right inside your garage or porch, our above-ground design means you can reach safety fast, without climbing steps or opening a heavy hatch in the rain.

HILTI anchoring system

We anchor every shelter with HILTI hardware: the same trusted system used in commercial buildings. It locks your shelter to the slab so it stays exactly where it should.

Comfortable and accessible

Ventilation, lighting, and optional ADA-compliant doors make a FamilySAFE shelter practical for all ages and mobility levels.

Expertly engineered, tested, and certified

The FamilySAFE shelter design is certified to meet or exceed FEMA and ICC-500 standards and has been tested at Texas Tech University’s Wind Engineering Research Center.
