Potosi Gets $2.6M Tornado Safe Room | Madison News

Potosi’s community is getting a game-changing safety upgrade: a $2.6 million FEMA-funded tornado shelter designed to protect up to 584 people, built to withstand 250 mph winds. It’s not just for students—it’s a lifeline for the entire town. When not in use, it transforms into a community fitness center, turning disaster prep into daily wellness. With FEMA covering 90% and local/state partners picking up the rest, this project is a powerful step toward resilience in a tornado-prone region.
