Before you hire a storm shelter installer

Shelter permit in Oklahoma City

The city page says a permit is needed for any above or below ground shelter. It lists $99.50 for an in-ground or slope-top shelter and $104.50 for an above ground safe room. (City of Oklahoma City)

Registering your shelter

After the shelter is installed and inspected, you can register it with the city Action Center at (405) 297-2535, or ask for registration with the permit application. (City of Oklahoma City)

A hardware-store storm door is not a safe room door

FEMA says a steel storm door with locks and hinges cannot give reliable tornado protection. Only door assemblies designed and tested for tornadoes can. (FEMA)

Read the door label

FEMA says to check the door's certification label for compliance with ICC 500 at a tornado wind speed of 250 mph. (FEMA)

Nobody is FEMA approved

FEMA says contractors and firms are prohibited from claiming to be, or advertising products as, FEMA approved or FEMA certified. (FEMA)

SoonerSafe rebate

Oklahoma Emergency Management's program offers up to $3,000 per home, not more than 75 percent of the cost. Winners are chosen at random, and the room must meet FEMA 320, FEMA 361 and ICC 500. (Oklahoma Emergency Management)

How Local Times OKC lists and checks storm shelter and safe room installers

Listings are free, and no business can pay to appear higher. Each checked fact on a card shows the date we checked it and links the page it came from: we confirm a listed website answers and shows the business's name or phone number, read the service area the business names on its own site, and look for a dated post or update there. Facts older than 6 months drop off. We do not use review stars or ratings from other sites. Items we have not checked yet are marked that way. How we list and check businesses.
