## How to Make a Storm Shelter More Affordable

### FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants

FEMA provides funding for safe rooms through state agencies. The program works through your state's emergency management office, not directly to homeowners. Eligibility and availability vary by year and location.

### SPAG Regional Safe Room Rebate Program

The South Plains Association of Governments has administered rebate programs for storm shelters in the past. This is a local funding source specific to the Lubbock region. Contact SPAG or ask us about current availability.

### Home value increase

According to FEMA and the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, installing a storm shelter increases a home's resale value by approximately 3.5%. A shelter is both a safety investment and a property investment.

### Insurance premium reductions

Some homeowners insurance providers offer premium discounts for homes with certified storm shelters. Check with your provider for available savings.
