Shelter requirements should be a requirement for future aid.

Really? Why? The aid people receive after a tornado will help rebuild their house. Having a shelter doesn’t do anything to keep the house from blowing away. I live in OK and have a reinforced safe room in my (very rare) basement, but it cost more than most people can afford. Would you require people in hurricane zones to install metal roofs and heavy shutters, or build with stainless steel frames to qualify for aid?
