<br />8(5). All Hazard Shelter <br /> <br />Project Description: <br /> <br />The purpose of a shelter is to provide a space where family members can survive a tornado or <br />other severe wind event with little or no injury, The shelter should be readily accessible from all <br />parts of the house, and it should be free of clutter. To protect the occupants during extreme <br />windstorms, the shelter must be adequately anchored to the house foundation to resist <br />overturning and uplift. The connections among all parts of the shelter must be strong enough to <br />resist failure, and the walls, roof, and door must resist penetration by windborne missiles, It is <br />also recommended that a 72-hour kit of necessary supplies be kept in the shelter or, if this is not <br />possible, be carried into the shelter when in use, The Fort Morgan School District will construct <br />a small scale model depicting the shelter, and a life size model for display purposes, along with <br />printed material at public events throughout the County, Project Impact funds would be available <br />as seed money, in funding individual shelters, <br /> <br />Benefits: Increase the probability by life safety by 60%, <br /> <br />Project Actions Include: <br /> <br />.
