Why not build large shelter underneath the ball fields at schools? Seems like they wouldn't need to be far under a layer of sod and have several entries. Be large enough to hold an entire school of students/teachers. I do realize that it most likely expensive to build but fields are generally close enough to the school to quickly evacuate to.
Aging and inadequate infastructure needs to be addressed and taken care of in this country from the Big Island to the most eastern part of the US! The bridge in Washington that collasped last night is an example. I am not totally buying that a large truck hitting the bridge caused the collapse when the entire state received less than a C grade on its bridge structures. Plus trucks travel bridges all over this country with weight restrictions. Bridges should be built strong enough to withstand a major large truck crash.
Sorry - kinda went off on the Washington bridge when my purpose of posting was a suggestion for a shelter at schools! I am sure my idea isn't new so maybe it isn't a good plan or it might have been done already.
