Tornado Safe Room Design Review Checklist
	
	

		
for use with FEMA 361, 2nd Edition (2008)
	
	

		


	
	

		
FEMA Region VII
	
	

		


	
	

		
The purpose of this checklist is to ensure that the Safe Room Project Architects in FEMA Region
	
	

		
VII have included all the necessary information in their submitted Construction Plans and
	
	

		
supporting documents for a full grant subapplication review with respect to the design and criteria
	
	

		
as detailed in FEMA 361 Design and Construction Guidance for Community Safe Rooms, Second
	
	

		
Edition 2008 and the prescriptive safe room in FEMA 320 Taking Shelter from the Storm; Building
	
	

		
a Safe Room for Your Home or Small Business, Third Edition 2008.  In order to assist the project
	
	

		
architect and designers with their designs, cross-references to the FEMA 361 and the ICC/NSSA
	
	

		
Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters (ICC-500, August 2008) are included
	
	

		
in the checklist where appropriate.  The majority of the references are to FEMA 361; however, the
	
	

		
project architect and designer will also need to be familiar with the requirements of ICC-500.
	
	

		
FEMA 361 references ICC-500 on certain issues, but where there is a conflict between the two
	
	

		
documents, FEMA 361 governs.  ASCE 7-05 should be used and the structure must be in
	
	

		
compliance with all applicable Federal, State and local building codes.
	
	

		


	
	

		


	
	

		
Project Architects, designers, and owners must understand the importance of each component of the
	
	

		
checklist.  All items must be addressed and the proper information provided in the initial submittal.
	
	

		
If a checkmark is in the column under "Required in Construction Documents," then that line item
	
	

		
must be included in the construction documents submitted to FEMA or the submittal will be
	
	

		
considered incomplete.  For this reason, the Project Architect must acknowledge the accuracy
	
	

		
and completeness of each item by placing his or her  professional seal on the checklist as is done
	
	

		
with the construction plans.  The checklist is submitted to FEMA, whose reviewers will check the
	
	

		
architect's response to each item as well as the location in which it is provided (the plan number,
	
	

		
subapplication sheet number, or attachment included in the submittal).  If the space provided in the
	
	

		
response column is not sufficient for the architect, the supplemental sheet may be used to provide
	
	

		
additional response and commentary.  If the information provided is deemed insufficient by FEMA,
	
	

		
a response will be sent to the architect with a request for the missing information.
	
	

		


	
	

		
A copy of FEMA 361 may be obtained from 
	
	

		
http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/saferoom/fema361.shtm.
	
	

		


	
	

		
Contact the International Code Council to obtain a copy of ICC-500: www.icc-safe.org.
	
	

		


	
	

		


	
	

		
FEMA financial assistance policies for the design and construction of a tornado safe room may require the submittal of an operations and maintenance plan prior to the start of construction.  The owner should consult the grantee (typically the State emergency management agency) for specific requirements.  Failure to address the operations and maintenance plan requirement may result in a construction delay.
	
	

		


	
	

		
Submittals 
	
	

		
A full set of drawings, the project manual, peer reviews, and other documents identified must be 
	
	

		
submitted to FEMA for review.  Half size drawings are preferred, and the project manual may be 
	
	

		
provided in an Adobe pdf format.  FEMA is unable to accept electronic drawings.
