Tornado Protection: Selecting Refuge Areas in Buildings
This booklet presents information that will aid qualified architects and engineers in the identification of the best available refuge areas in existing buildings. Architects and engineers who are designing tornado shelters within new buildings may also find this booklet useful, but should refer to Design and Construction Guidance for Community Shelters (FEMA 361) for more detailed information. FEMA 361 includes design criteria, information about the performance of specific construction materials under wind and debris impact loads, and examples of construction plans and costs.
