Storm Shelters to Help People in Devastating Tornado
Among many harrowing and frightening weather experiences, tornadoes are a major one. Every year the massive funnel of the winds and debris of a tornado destroy hundreds of lives and property worth billions. Therefore, the need of storm shelters are much talked about. However, there are more concerns on how the shelters can help people in multiple ways. The use of safe rooms and storm shelters are not restricted to use only for tornadoes hence this is a safe escape for innocent people when in trouble.
Targeting Innocent Child
News has circulated of people being targeted in front of worship centers and daycare in high amount in Oklahoma. Conservative religious zealots are responsible for spreading violence and fear and the sense of uncertainty among people. These people are also threatening children and their family without any morality and reason. Henceforth, the shelters can give safe space to the people in distress. It can protect a large group from these violent and menacing acts besides protecting them from weather threats.
Protecting the Elderly
If a severe storm travels across the upper Midwest, it does not spare states like Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Lowa, Illinois and Missouri and other central part of the United States. A severe storm occurrence can risk life of 45 million of people. In such an incident, the retirement communities suffer more as there are people with lack of mobility and serious health concerns. It is hard to estimate number of people residing at the retirement communities therefore, it would be better to the elderly people safe in storm shelters in the season.
