Ready for Hurricane Season!

ReproTech Adds Category 5 Hurricane Safe Room

 

                

As you know, RTL relocated our Florida storage facility last year, but did you know that we added an EF-5 Hurricane Safe Room?  Our EF-5 Safe Room, designed by the structural engineers at F-5 Storm Shelters & Safe Rooms, is certified to withstand 330 miles per hour winds, and exceeds all of the F.E.M.A. guidelines as an EF-5 Tornado Safe Room. ReproTech is the only storage facility in the country to go through the expense of installing an EF-5 Hurricane Shelter for the safe keeping of clients' specimens.

 

Watch the video below to hear Russ explain the importance of providing Safe Room protection and to view some EXPLOSIVE testing of a Safe Room!
