A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 624221-03 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

• The "Storm Shelters" industry has a long history dating back to ancient times when people used to build underground shelters to protect themselves from natural disasters. In the United States, the industry gained prominence in the 1950s during the Cold War era when people built bomb shelters to protect themselves from nuclear attacks. In recent years, the industry has seen significant advancements in technology and design, with the introduction of new materials and construction techniques. For example, some storm shelters are now made of reinforced concrete and steel, making them more durable and resistant to extreme weather conditions. Additionally, some shelters are now equipped with advanced ventilation systems, emergency power supplies, and communication devices, making them more comfortable and safer for occupants.
