With more than 850 confirmed tornadoes in 2015 in the U.S. alone, an increasing number of companies are building and selling storm shelters. Many of these businesses are turning to Empire Ventilation Equipment to provide the ventilation for these life-saving structures. Tornadoes are more common in the United States than in any other country with most occurring east of Rocky Mountains.
Research proves that storm shelters save hundreds of lives each year and with more people recognizing this, companies are working hard to meet consumer demand. In order to meet Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) guidelines, proper and adequate ventilation is required for the shelters. Empire has been providing customers with quality ventilation products for more than 60 years. Empire serves the locations hit with the majority of the tornadoes where people are deciding to protect their homes and their families from these devastating natural disasters.
