About this Quote

This was particularly important in locations susceptible to tornadoes, as these areas are often much more prone to the effects of extreme weather. The Tornado Shelters Act was a wonderful instance of exactly how government can function to secure its citizens as well as give them with the resources they need to stay risk-free.
