[Roshan Fried]

Asafe room is a hardened structure specifically designed to meet the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) criteria and provide near-absolute protection in extreme wind events, including tornadoes and hurricanes.

Near-absolute protection means that, based on our current knowledge of tornadoes and hurricanes, the occupants of a safe room built in accordance with FEMA guidance will have a very high probability of being protected from injury or death.

Every year, tornadoes, hurricanes, and other extreme windstorms cause numerous injuries and deaths in the United States. FEMA provides guidance and best practices on safe room design, construction, related standard and building code development and identifying grants for safe rooms. Read more details in the latest fact sheet.

FEMA provides hazard mitigation funding to eligible applicant states, tribes and territories. They then provide subgrants to local governments to assist in reducing overall risk to people and property.

FEMA does not endorse, approve, certify or recommend any contractors, individuals, firms or products. Contractors, individuals, or firms shall not claim they or their products are "FEMA approved" or "FEMA certified."

Obtaining proper building permits and inspections is important for all construction. Individuals considering purchasing or installing a safe room should contact their local building official about building code requirements.

A safe room or panic room is a fortified room that is installed in a private residence or business to provide a safe shelter, or hiding place, for the inhabitants in the event of a break in, home invasion, tornado, terror attack, or other threat. Safe rooms usually contain communications equipment, so that law enforcement authorities can be contacted.

The most basic safe room is simply a closet with the hollow-core door replaced with an exterior-grade solid-core door that has a deadbolt and longer hinge screws and strike-plate screws to resist battering. Sometimes, the ceiling is reinforced, or gated, to prevent easy access from the attic or from an overhead crawl space.

More expensive safe rooms have walls and a door reinforced with sheets of steel, Kevlar, or bullet-resistant fiberglass. The hinges and strike plate are often reinforced with long screws. Some safe rooms may also have externally vented ventilation systems and a separate telephone connection. They might also connect to an escape shaft.

Safe rooms in the basement or on a concrete slab can be built with concrete walls, a building technique that is normally not possible on the upper floors of wood-framed structures unless there is significant structural reinforcement to the building.

The U.S. State Department often uses steel grillwork much like a jail to seal off parts of a home used by U.S. Foreign Service members overseas when they are living in cities with a high crime threat. In some cities, the entire upstairs area is grilled off,[1] as well as every window and door to the home. Other homes have steel doors to one or more bedrooms that can be bolted closed to provide time for security forces to arrive.

For strong storms or tornadoes, a storm safe room must be built to withstand high winds and flying debris, even if the rest of the residence becomes severely damaged or destroyed. Specific concerns include:[2]

Safe rooms may contain communications equipment, such as a cellular telephone, land-line telephone or an amateur radio transceiver, so that law enforcement authorities can be contacted. There may also be a monitor for external security cameras and an alarm system. In basic safe rooms, a peephole in the door may be used for a similar purpose. Safe rooms are typically stocked with basic emergency and survival items such as a flashlight, blankets, a first-aid kit, water, packaged food, self-defense tools, a gas mask, and a simple portable toilet. High-end safe rooms may have a gun closet, a biodefense air-filtration system that removes biological and nuclear contaminants, and a panic button that locks down the entire house.[3]

Safe rooms on civilian ships, sometimes called "citadels",[5] are increasingly being installed as a countermeasure against piracy.[6] When attacked, the crew can retreat into the safe room and call for help (which in the case of ships of some countries may include the intervention of military forces). Because of the nature of ship construction, the safe room is typically constructed in a concealed location within a void within the ship, to resist efforts by the pirates to find the crew before help arrives. Safe rooms sometimes have facilities to allow the crew to remotely disable the ship's engines and electronic systems, making it impossible for the pirates to sail the ship to a location they control. The safe room is also typically armoured against direct physical attack, to allow the crew to remain safe for a few hours, even if located by the pirates, and to allow rescuing forces full scope for the use of armed force to re-take the ship without risk to the crew.

The effect of the safe room is thus to deny the pirates access to the crew for hostage-taking, to remove the capability to move the ship to a location favourable for the pirates, and to facilitate retaking the ship by armed force without risk to the crew. The retreat of the crew to a safe room could encourage the pirates to leave the ship of their own volition.

The Residential Safe Room Program application period is now open. Applications are due July 31, 2024, using the safe room application form. IDHS will select 25 applicants randomly to receive a rebate for a safe room to be installed in their Indiana residence. If approved, applicants will be reimbursed for 75% ($5,000 maximum) of their safe room installation costs. Full details are below.

Indiana provides this rebate program through the FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Grant Program. Therefore, IDHS must comply with all federal grant regulations for each rebate recipient.

Please read all safe room program rules and regulations carefully to ensure eligibility for a safe room rebate and to ensure applications meet all federal grant guidelines associated with this program. IDHS and FEMA must review each application and associated documentation submitted to ensure guidelines are met for each application entered in the lottery.

In an average year, 800 tornadoes are reported nationwide, resulting in 80 deaths and more than 1,500 injuries. A safe room, which is a hardened structure specifically designed to meet FEMA criteria and provide "near-absolute protection" in extreme weather events, can survive winds as high as 250 miles per hour. It can be an interior room, space within a building or an entirely separate structure designed to protect occupants for events that normally last approximately two hours.

For the purposes of this program, the term "safe room" includes a prefabricated above- or below-ground residential shelter that meets or exceeds guidelines stated in the most recent versions of FEMA Publications 320 (Taking Shelter from the Storm) and FEMA 361 (Design and Construction Criteria for Community Safe Rooms), as well as ICC 500 (Standards for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters).

This is a reimbursement program; therefore, homeowners will pay the full cost for a safe room up front and then be reimbursed for up to 75 percent, with a maximum of $5,000, of the eligible costs to install a FEMA-compliant safe room at their residence.

In the event that more applications are received than the agency is able to award, the program will use a random selection process to select names. This process will allow everyone who registers to have an equal chance to be selected. Only one person may register per physical home address.

The recipients will be notified after each application period has closed and the selection process has occurred. Recipients will be notified via the email address or phone number provided during registration.

Homeowners selected to receive a rebate will be required to attend a mandatory safe room informational meeting to explain the rules and regulations of the program in more detail, as well as to answer any questions. IDHS will also discuss the various types, sizes and locations of residential safe rooms. There will be several of these meetings held throughout the state to accommodate all homeowners selected.

After attending the informational meeting, homeowners will have 30 days to select the type, size and location of their safe room and then submit that information to IDHS for submission to FEMA. Once homeowners submit their safe room selections, they will not be able to make changes to the submitted selections.

Upon award of the grant from FEMA, all approved homeowners will receive a "Notice to Proceed" via certified mail. This notice will lay out the guidelines that must be followed during the construction or installation of the approved safe room. Homeowners cannot enter into a contract or begin construction/installation of a safe room until the "Notice to Proceed" has been received.

The safe room types eligible for installation are prefabricated shelters that meet or exceed the specifications set forth in the most recent versions of FEMA publications 320 and 361. Many local building codes require a permit and inspection by local building inspectors.

If you receive this rebate, you will not have to claim it as income on your taxes. The safe room rebate is exempt from tax liability as a federally funded assistance program. For additional information and frequently asked questions, see the Safe Room FAQs document.

Fifth grade was better and worse. There was no room specifically designed for seclusion. Instead, he was restrained more often. Instead of seclusion, this school had a sensory room for breaks. There was a tent, soft lighting, foam blocks to climb on, gym mats. We both thought this was cool at first, and he looked forward to using it. Much later, I learned that when the staff needed to control him, they would take all the sensory tools out, and then throw him in.
