The Waynesville R-VI School District has

a FEMA shelter is at East Elementary and

designed to protect East's students.

Here is the official information from

school workers about the safe room:

“It is not considered private; however,

the District is only required to operate it as

a safe room during tornado warnings that

occur during school hours or school

functions during evening hours.

Your safe room is designed only for the

population of the school building. Per the

approved grant application, only the school

population (students, staff and visitors)

were accounted for in the calculations to

determine the size of the safe room. No

area residence that might live within the 5

minute walking distance of the safe room

were accounted for. This is allowed by

FEMA, hence its approval, and many other

safe rooms in Missouri operate under

similar conditions. Therefore the District

is only required to operate it as a safe room

during tornado warnings that occur during

school hours or school functions during

evening hours. The district is not required

to open the safe room to the public as the

safe room is designed for a specific

population and allowing area residents in

during the day could possible overload the

designed occupancy of the safe room.

It is not considered “private”, all safe

rooms are designed for a specific

population. In your case that population is

just those located on campus.”
