Poured in place solid concrete walls can withstand
Hurricane force winds over 200 mph. Along with the benefit of
durability, poured in place solid concrete walls virtually eliminate
water intrusion, lower maintenance costs, provide greater fire
resistance and the peace and quiet of concrete. Solid concrete
walls are at least 30% more energy efficient than hollow core
block walls and all for comparatively the same cost as a conventional
block constructed home.

Concrete Safe Rooms Save Lives
If you don't remember anything else I say today, for goodness' sake, build a safe room in your home when you rebuild," President Clinton told residents during a visit to Del City after a storm. "We will be able to save nearly everybody if we can do this."
