ShelterIndex. Code-compliant shelters made simple.
Capabilities
Inclusive by default
We list vendors who adapt shelters for mobility, sensory, and cognitive needs—ramps, clear widths, visual/audible alerts—aligned with ICC 500.
Verified components
Doors, frames, hardware, and anchors mapped to ICC-ES, Intertek, and UL listings for traceable impact/ballistic performance.
Blackout readiness
Power-loss plans, low-light signage, and autonomy checks (air, water, comms) for storms and CBRN events.
Configurable specs
Spec templates for storm (ICC 500), CBRN (AEP-54), or panic (UL 752) rooms—set wind speed and occupancy.
Smart filters
Filter by “meets ICC 500 / per FEMA P-361,” AEP-54 COLPRO, or EMP hardening (MIL-STD-188-125).
Code compliance checks
Quick linting against IBC §423 and ICC 500 (2020/2023) with flagged gaps and next steps.
Provider profiles
Cross-referenced vendors from NSSA and ATSA with regions served, project types, and contacts.
Guides & checklists
RFP language and worksheets referencing FEMA P-320/P-361 and ICC 500—never “FEMA-approved” claims.
Design library
Reusable blocks: door schedules, anchorage notes, filtration layouts, and occupancy calculators.
