Are mobile homes safe in storms?

Mobile homes are a popular and cost-effective housing option in many areas. However, they are also lightweight structures that can be vulnerable in storms. Fortunately, there are steps that can be taken to make mobile homes safer in storms. Installing anchors and tie-downs can help to secure the home and make it more resistant to wind. Reinforcing the roof and walls with additional framing and materials can also help to protect the home from wind damage. In some cases, storm shutters may be necessary to protect the windows and doors. With the right preparation, mobile homes can be made more secure and provide a safe refuge during storms.
