Threats from High Winds (Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Storms)
The images from the destruction left by the recent tornadoes in the South and Midwest are a reminder of the incredible violence and power of nature. While none of us can undo the damage, we all can work to better prepare for future emergencies. The members of NCMA believe that the inherent strength of reinforced concrete masonry makes it an excellent choice to withstand wind-born debris – the largest threat to occupants in these storms. As communities are rebuilding, we want to provide the tools they need to rebuild with more strength and protection.  Visit the NCMA website to learn more: http://www.ncma.org/resources/safe_home/Pages/default.aspx
