What’s the difference between Storm Closet and Closet Vault? Storm Closet is a storm shelter designed to protect you and your family from injuries from tornadoes. Storm Closet is a fully qualified tornado shelter (tested and evaluated by approved independent testing and engineering firms) meeting all requirements of the National Storm Shelter Association Standard (see www.nssa.cc).The Storm Closet door has a NSSA qualified door/frame/hardware assembly. ClosetVault is an in-residence safe room vault which protects its contents from fire, burglary, and storm damage from hurricane force winds and missile impacts. The ClosetVault door is a burglar- resistant steel door with multiple latching devices which meets UL specifications for a 14 gauge three hour fire door, but is not designed to resist the force of a 15 pound 2X4 impacting at 100 mph nor the pressures from a 250 mph tornado wind. Then, isn’t ClosetVault a storm shelter for storms less than tornado intensity? ClosetVault resists debris missile impacts as required by the Standard Building Code and Florida Building Code for hurricane shelters, but does not meet NSSA or FEMA standards for tornado shelters. StormCloset resists 250 mph wind forces and meets NSSA pressure and tornado debris impact requirements for above-ground tornado shelters.(15 pound 2 x 4 board impacting at 100 mph) ClosetVault has withstood 18″ diameter tree drops, car and junk steel drop impacts, and is anchored to provide the same resistance to uplift, overturning or lateral movement as Sto providing personal storm protection even though it is able to resist hurricane and blast forces. Is StormCloset accepted by state agencies administering FEMA grants as a qualified above-ground tornado shelter? Yes. The StormCloset tornado shelter is qualified to receive funding under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program in states where this program has been funded. Shelters meeting the NSSA Standard are recognized by FEMA as having been designed, tested, and constructed by a standard which exceeds the federal standards. National Storm Shelter Association Member’s shelters are also required by NSSA to be installed by qualified and fully trained installers, in accordance with specific installation or assembly instructions, who further must furnish a Certificate of Installation to NSSA certifying compliance with the NSSA Standard.
