USA – Sep 29th 2025: Safe Rooms US, a leader in storm shelter fabrication and installation across Oklahoma and Texas, is introducing new customizable safe room designs built specifically to accommodate seniors, people with reduced mobility, and family pets. These innovations respond to increasing demand for accessible, inclusive, and family-friendly storm protection.

With more than 25 years of experience in the safe room and storm shelter industry, this brand is known for custom-built steel above-ground shelters that meet or exceed FEMA guidelines and are rated to withstand EF-5 tornadoes. Now, the company is extending its product line to include features that make emergency sheltering more comfortable and practical for every member of the family.

Key accessibility and pet-friendly features will include:

Low or ramped thresholds to ease entry for seniors, people using wheelchairs or walkers, or those with limited mobility.
Wider doors and hallways to accommodate mobility aids.
Non-slip floor surfaces and seating built in or anchored securely.
Pet-safe flooring materials, secure areas for pet carriers, and mounting points for leashes or pet crates to keep animals safe during shelter use.

These options are designed as custom add-ons to the standard safe room sizes (ranging from 4’×4’ up to 10’×25’) so homeowners can tailor the space to their needs without compromising storm protection.

Safe Rooms US promises installation in as few as two weeks for homes in Oklahoma and Texas. The shelters are built above ground, using steel that has passed rigorous impact tests (including the Texas Test Impact Test), and meet or exceed FEMA specifications for safe rooms. These shelters are designed to endure the highest severity tornado threats commonly faced in the region.

“Storms don’t wait, and neither should protection,” said a spokesperson for Safe Rooms US. “We want every homeowner to have a safe room that doesn’t just protect — but accommodates. Whether it’s helping an aging parent step in safely, or ensuring that our four-legged family members are not left behind, these design upgrades are about compassion, dignity, and peace of mind.”

Oklahoma is located in one of the most tornado-prone regions of the United States. With storms increasing in frequency and severity, traditional safe rooms meet structural safety needs, but often overlook usability during a crisis. By offering designs that are both structurally robust and genuinely user-friendly, Safe Rooms US bridges a gap and helps communities be better prepared.
