Shelter Signs

Do you run a public shelter to allow members of your community to find safe haven in the event of a hurricane, explosion, or another natural disaster? Has your business, school, or church been designated as a sheltering place for the city? Do you have facilities on hand where employees and students should gather when disaster arises? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should invest in affordable, effective Shelter Signs from American Sign Letters. These signs help alert the community that yours is a place of safety when the “storm” hits (even if the threat isn’t a literal storm).

Nature’s Fury
By far the most common reasons for Shelter Signs are natural occurrences such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and other events that show us how destructive Mother Nature can be. These events can cause loss of property and life, and they can do generational damage to a community. It’s essential in times like these that people have a place they can go to seek shelter, whether due to mandatory evacuations or simply because their homes aren’t safe enough to withstand the effects of the event. With Shelter Signs, you can ensure that everyone knows where to go in a natural emergency.

The Shelter Designation
If you are in charge of a school, church, civic center, or business that has been designated by your city or county as a place of shelter, you may be required by law to put Shelter Signs up outside your building. This lets people know that they’ve come to the right place when instructed to by government officials in charge of handling a city (or state)-wide emergency. People are naturally confused and frightened during times like these, and they need all the help they can get to find their way to safety. These signs also help volunteers and staff workers know where to go when offering their services to the community. For an affordable investment, you can comply with your government’s requirements and ensure a smooth shelter system for those displaced by disaster.

Specific Shelter Signs
In addition to generic Emergency Shelter Signs you can use to designate your building a shelter for all emergencies, we also carry a wide array of specific signs you can use to distinguish your building as a shelter for certain disasters. Included in this category are signs such as: Chemical Shelter, Earthquake Shelter, Fallout Shelter, Hurricane Shelter, Tornado Shelter, and more. Not every building will be equally appropriate for, say, chemical disaster AND hurricane protection. In this case, you may wish to purchase Shelter Signs that denote specifically what kind of shelter you’re offering to the community.
