To do this, storm shelters of the Tulsa city are being mapped out by the fire department.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityoftulsa.org\/public-safety\/storm-shelter-registration.aspx\">Shelter registration services<\/a> have been available for many years and you have been able to track shelters through your utility bill. However, now to better target the exact location of your shelter, a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/\">GPS tracking<\/a> system has been put into place to find you after a storm hits.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone knows how much destruction a tornado can cause and thousands of people seek the protection of their storm shelters when a storm is in effect. Fortunately, storm shelters in Tulsa have grown over the past several years.<\/p>\n<p>According to Tulsa Fire Department&#8217;s Stan May, they can easily get to people and get them out of harm&#8217;s way as fast as they can if they are able to find them quickly.<\/p>\n<p>When it first came out, the location of your storm shelter could be easily pinned through the registration system, but it can still be hard to locate following storm damage. With GPS tracking, your shelter can now be mapped within three to six feet.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really easy to find a storm shelter the minute GPS coordinates are taken and the accept button is pressed since it changes their map, May said.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For people in TUlsa, registering their shelter is simple. They can use their utility account number to register their shelter and then simply call the fire department to have your exact location logged.<\/p>\n<p>During the set-up process, folks can add additional information like their contact information, people with medical or disability needs, or if there are elderly people in their home.<\/p>\n<p>May says that storm shelters do indeed save lives; therefore it&#8217;s vital to register them.<\/p>\n<p>According to fire officials, if you desire GPS tracking, you can call to set up an appointment and a uniformed Tulsa firefighter will assist you.<\/p>\n<p>GPS tracking devices are often used to track a person, moving vehicles, cell phones and in this case, a storm shelter.\u00a0 It determines and tracks the exact location of a person or object using the Global Positioning System in intervals. The location data is recorded and stored inside the device or in some cases is transmitted to an Internet-connected device or central location database. The asset&#8217;s location can be tracked and displayed in real time against a map backdrop or can be analyzed later on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a tornado hits this severe weather season, emergency workers want to ensure they will be able to find people.
