MOVING YOUR SAFE ROOM AND RE-INSTALLING IT

Thank you for visiting Jim Giles' CERTIFIED Safe Rooms Alabama web 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 before he became a television icon in Tulsa, Oklahoma for more than 25 years. Jim's passion was to keep you and your family safe. We are based in Tulsa, OK in the heart of tornado alley. We know and understand the devastation your state has faced in recent years and months. Jim Giles CERTIFIED Safe Rooms - Alabama has the technology to help keep your family safe and calm during severe weather.

That vision 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. We also are proud member of the National Storm Shelter Association. The National Storm Shelter Association(NSSA) is an important part of that verification.

The organization is a self policing organization that verifies member safe rooms have passed a debris impact test and have completed an independent review from a third party engineer that their shelter meets the FEMA 320 & 361 standard for above ground storm shelters in residential and community installation. Jim Giles' CERTIFIED Safe Rooms Alabama is a proud member of the NSSA and the General Manager, Tom Bennett, is the NSSA President and sits on the NSSA Board of Directors.

To this day, Jim's long-time television producer, Tom Bennett, directs the safe room business as General Manager and continues to be a storm chaser and meteorologist. No other storm shelter business can show that level of knowledge and commitment in the extreme and severe weather industry.

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 firsthand. We know what weather can do. That's why we can help protect you and your family from nature's wrath and help you feel more safe and at ease during the next severe weather event with a Jim Giles' CERTIFIED Safe Room in your home.
