Welcome to the website for Jim Giles' CERTIFIED Safe Rooms.

Thank you for visiting our site and giving our product consideration. First off, let me tell you that what our mission is and why we are in this business. Jim Giles' CERTIFIED Safe Rooms is not just any tornado

shelter company. If we were, then we would offer more types of products, like below ground cellars etc. No, this company was founded by a career meteorologist, the late Jim Giles, whose career spanned more than 40 years in three different fields of weather, including a weather forecast commander in Vietnam during the 1960s, a University Professor of meteorology and of course a Meteorologist on TV in Austin and Dallas Texas and in Tulsa Oklahoma for more than 25 years. Jim's passion was to keep you and your family safe.

That continues to be the mission of Jim Giles' CERTIFIED Safe Rooms to this day. That's why we make a shelter that is easy and suitable for the whole family to get into without maneuvering steps and stairs trying to get underground. If the shelter is not handicap accessible, then we will not sell it. Finally, in continuing Jim's legacy, Jim Giles' CERTIFIED Safe Rooms will not take the easy road in the verification of our product. The National Storm Shelter Association(NSSA) is an important part of that verification. It is costly, but well worth it. The organization verifies that a member has not only passed their debris impact testing, but has completed an independent review from a third party engineer that their shelter meets the FEMA 320 standard for above ground storm shelters. Jim Giles' CERTIFIED Safe Rooms is a proud member of the NSSA and the General Manager, Tom Bennett, is the NSSA Treasurer and sits on the NSSA Board of Directors. Jim Giles' CERTIFIED Safe Rooms is committed to the NSSA and to you and your families safety from severe weather. That is why your shelter will bear the NSSA seal, signifying that your shelter meets and exceeds the FEMA 320 standard for tornado safety.

To this day, Jim's long-time tv producer, Tom Bennett, runs the safe room business as General Manager and continues to be a storm chaser and meteorologist. No other storm shelter business can say that. Know that when you buy this product, you are getting the experience from people who don't just talk about the weather, but have seen it, experienced it and have smelled it. We know weather and what it can do. That's why we can help protect you and your family from nature's wrath.
