FEMA GRANT ASSISTANCE
incite Design Studio has been involved in over 20 FEMA 361 Safe Room design and construction projects. Our project managers are intimately knowledgeable of the FEMA requirements, grant application process, and construction details. When considering the next project for your school district, ask incite Design Studio about FEMA Safe Rooms and grant opportunities.
We designed two of Missouri’s largest concrete dome Safe Rooms. The first was completed in 2011 for the Archie R-V School District, and following was the Webb City R-VII School District dome gymnasium—now the largest in Missouri, which opened in 2014. We will proudly provide tours to either of these facilities, or any other FEMA Safe Room, at your request.
