The Requirements
SoonerSafe Eligibility, Explained
SoonerSafe requirement: You own the home?
You must own the property where the safe room will be installed. If you live in a mobile home, you must own both the home and the land it sits on.
SoonerSafe requirement: It is your primary residence?
The shelter must go at a single-family home that is your primary residence. Rental properties, vacation homes, and multi-family residences are generally not eligible.
SoonerSafe requirement: The shelter is new?
Only new installations qualify. A safe room that is already installed, or being installed before you are selected, does not qualify for the rebate.
SoonerSafe requirement: It meets FEMA P-320 and ICC-500?
The safe room must meet or exceed the most recent versions of FEMA P-320 (and FEMA 361) and ICC-500, the recognized standards for storm shelters.
SoonerSafe requirement: You register and are selected?
You must register at soonersafe.ok.gov and be chosen in the random drawing before you install anything. Selection, not registration alone, is what makes a project eligible.
Does this checker guarantee I will get the rebate?
No. This tool is a guide based on the published requirements. Selection is by random drawing through the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, and funding is limited, so meeting the requirements lets you register and compete but does not guarantee you are chosen.
