Programs by state
Nevada
Nevada’s current official preparedness pages are mostly all-hazards, with a specific tornado guidance page and mitigation pages aimed mainly at governments. As of October 4, 2026, I found no current Nevada statewide residential safe-room or storm-shelter rebate page; the current official financing page I found is the STORM Act revolving loan fund for local governments and federally recognized tribes. I also did not find a Nevada statewide home-shelter registration page for first responders.

Key facts for Nevada
- NV OEM says Nevada’s state emergency management agency is the Nevada Office of Emergency Management / Homeland Security, renamed and moved under the Governor’s Office on July 1, 2025.
- On NV OEM’s Hazard Mitigation page, I found HMA Notice of Interest, Flood Mitigation Assistance, county plans, and pre-application materials, but no homeowner safe-room rebate page.
- NV OEM’s STORM Act program offers low-interest loans to eligible local governments and federally recognized tribes; it is not a homeowner rebate.
- NV OEM’s tornado guidance tells residents to use a safe room, basement, storm cellar, or small interior room on the lowest floor.
- For mobile homes or homes without basements, NV OEM says identify a nearby safe building you can reach quickly.
- NWS Reno’s storm-reports page says Nevada tornado records in the Storm Events Database go back to 1950.
What to do next
- Check the NV OEM Hazard Mitigation page and your county hazard mitigation plan for any locally sponsored or post-disaster safe-room funding; I found no statewide homeowner rebate.
- Ask your county or city emergency management office, fire department, or sheriff whether they keep any local safe-room or access registry; I found no Nevada statewide registration page.
- If you live in a mobile home or a home without a basement, pre-identify a nearby sturdy building now, because NV OEM’s tornado guidance specifically recommends that.
