Late winter and early spring mark the time frames when Texas receives some of its worst storms; the season is marked by high winds, rain, or floods.
Most residents have adapted to these weather conditions with safe room shelters throughout Texas. However, once the season passes, these storm shelters are of little to no use.
If you’re using your property’s space and your time for a storm shelter’s installation/ construction, you should be able to make the most of that area.
Here are a few ways to utilize safe rooms beyond storm safety.
- Emergency Storage
Once a person has ensured their physical safety in an emergency, their second biggest priority is having emergency supplies such as non-perishable food, first-aid kit, batteries, etc.
These supplies are absolute necessities to help keep a person energized and safe. Converting a safe room shelter into an emergency supply storage keeps it stocked for storms and other weather emergencies when not in use.
Therefore, when the need arises, a person can quickly evacuate to the shelter and save time on gathering emergency supplies as they’re already stocked.
Additionally, research highlights that maintaining storage ensures you have all the appropriate aid with proper shelf lives, rather than grabbing a few items at the last minute.
- Work/ Study Space
Safe rooms, be they above-ground storm shelters or underground bunkers, consist of thick outer walls as they’re designed to be resistant to high wind pressure. Due to this construction, their walls tend to block out noise.
The noise-control feature makes storm shelters ideal for usage as work and study spaces for Texas residents.
The noiseless aspect also makes the space perfect for relaxing and concentration-centered activities such as yoga.
Multipurpose Protection
A storm shelter can easily double as a storage or workspace based on a homeowner’s usage needs in Texas. From emergency supplies to important documents, a person can use the space to store anything of value and make the most of its noise-cancellation when they need to focus.
