These places are well known enough governments should be requiring every home to have a shelter (either a basement or one dug into the yard) while being built or before being sold.
- dylan604 3y agoFor new construction, there's a better solution than the old hole in the ground shelter. My aunt/uncle built their retirement home with one of the new shelters that are built into the house and attached directly to the foundation. It doubles as their kitchen pantry. The downside to hole in the ground style is that debris could fall on the doors to the shelter and trap you in there for however long until someone happens upon you. So, some supplies might be a good idea. Your requirement for being built/sold is a bit extreme. It is no different from places being built in flood plains, earthquake prone areas, or wildfire areas. Where it gets nasty is getting the structure insured.
