ESP Safety Shelters will withstand the most extreme tornado activity and offer a safe zone against home invasion.It is preferable for the shelter to be installed within the interior of a residence.

This shelter is not waterproof.The Swisher ESP Safety Shelter has undergone and passed testing at the National Wind Institute at Texas Tech University. The ESP Shelter has been tested and withstood a total of nine impacts from 15-pound 2x4s traveling at 100 mph. These impacts are equivalent to the force produced by an F5 tornado with 250-mph winds.In addition, each ESP Safety Shelter is verified to be in compliance with the National Storm Shelter Association (NSSA) standards. Each ESP Safety Shelter will meet or exceed all FEMA P320/P361 and ICC-500 Code requirements when all installation guidelines are met (step-by-step installation checklist is provided with each ESP Safety Shelter).All Shelters have been designed by Registered Structural Engineers and have undergone a rigorous third-party review process. Statement from FEMA P-320: "Having a safe room built for your home or small business can help provide 'near-absolute protection' for you and your family or employees from injury or death caused by the dangerous forces of extreme winds."Near Absolute Protection definition from FEMA P-361: Level of protection afforded to the occupants of a safe room built according to the guidance in the most current edition of FEMA P-361. Our current knowledge of tornadoes and hurricanes indicates that safe room occupants will have a very high probability of being protected from injury or death.These shelters are designed to be a DIY project, but once the shelter installation is completed, it must be inspected by a qualified inspector.
