The Michigan State Police Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division is now accepting applications for the Michigan Safe Room Rebate Program.
The program is designed to help eligible homeowners offset the cost of installing a Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA compliant tornado safe room on their property.
Capt. Kevin Sweeney, deputy state director of Emergency Management says in a news release, quote, “We’ve already faced the threat and destruction of tornadoes multiple times this year”, he adds, “A properly constructed tornado safe room can provide critical life-saving protection during severe weather events.”
Selected applicants who meet requirements may receive a rebate covering up to 75-percent of eligible costs.
Interested homeowners should complete an online application. Fifty applicants will be chosen through a random selection process. To apply you must be a resident of Michigan and own a permanent residence in the state.
