Federal "safe room" project.

Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 07:00 PM by jody

The federal government has a safe room program that subsidizes private house owners that build safe rooms. In Mississippi

A Safe Place to Go: The Mississippi Safe Room - Storm Shelter Initiative

QUOTE
As of February 2004, a total 1,165 shelters have been constructed in Mississippi. Of these, 1,105 are individual shelters, built at an average total cost of $3,072 with an average reimbursement to the owner of $2,304.
UNQUOTE

Federal information at Safe Rooms and Community Shelters

I wonder (1) how many safe rooms were built in the area affected by Katrina and (2) how many of those safe rooms were built in middle class and homes of the poor?
