Abstract

A fairly high degree of defense for buildings against tornadoes is available for a minimal amount of money. Strengthening an interior section of a building as an enhanced tornado protective area (ETPA) can help save many lives and meet budgets. Important criteria when choosing an EPTA for a building include accessibility, usability, level of protection and economics.
