Pre-Manufactured Community/Commercial Safe Rooms
The NSSA prefers to use the terminology Community/Commercial when referring to safe rooms that are used for public and private use by businesses (not Residential use) as defined in the ICC/NSSA 500 –2014 Standard and the FEMA P-361 criteria for Community Safe Rooms. The term Community/Commercial best describes the real world applications for non-residential safe rooms.
Pre-Manufactured Advantages
- Flexibility – Can serve multiple purposes and provide storm protection
- Archive Storage – Communications Control Rooms – Equipment Rooms
- Mobility – Ability on most models to be relocated to help expansion or new locations
- Wide Variety – Sizes, construction materials and accessories such as heating, cooling, and lavatories.
- Adaptability – Can normally be added on to or connected to an additional safe rooms.

There are additional design requirements and costs for community safe rooms that are not required for small group or private safe rooms. It is sometimes a more cost effective solution to consider a greater number of small group safe rooms than a few larger ones. The smaller units may be arranged in a “battery” configura-tion in close proximity to each other or distributed strategically around larger sites to minimize the average required distance to safety. Give us a call if you have a large number of people to protect!
