The recent round of tornadoes to sweep through Texas got everyone thinking about safety. The best place to go when those sirens start wailing is in a secured storm shelter. When it comes to tornadoes there is no telling where they will end up and you're much better off being safe than sorry. You can control you own safety at your home and not the government is going to pitch in and help you get there. The Metro Safe Room Rebate Program kicks in this summer and its going to allow residents to be reimbursed for half of the cost of installing a storm safe room to a home or property. The maximum payoff will be $3,000. So, if your storm shelter is going to cost $6,000 half of it can be paid for. Here are the qualifications: "You must own a home in Dallas County, Tarrant County, Collin County or Denton County. You will need to make a copy of your deed or property tax record. Your property must not be in the 100-year floodplain (FEMA Flood Zone A) or in a Special Flood Hazard Area. This can be verified online. You must contract with a certified supplier. There are two: National Storm Shelter Association or American Tornado Association. You must be approved first, before any construction begins."
