tornadoes in Kansas

budget

The current budget of Kansas City, MO is 2.06 billion dollars

25% of this is used for education, and 24% goes towards policing. the other 51% goes to other municipal needs.

how to get money

We can also get money through donations from the public. If they know that it is for their safety, and will benefit everyone, some people may want to donate some extra money to our solution.

Fundraisers would also be sufficient to get the money we need to bring this solution to life.

One of our ideas to get money was through raising the tax rate by 1.75%. This may not seem like a lot, but this'll give us extra expenses to use towards our solution.

Another idea to get some money, or at least some assistance with our solution, is through the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF).

Tempered glass

Steel

prices

The total sum of money we will require for this solution is $877,604,317.

Tempered glass cost between $12-14 per square foot. In the average window, there is about 15 sq feet. The average amount of windows there are in a house is 22. The total cost of this material is $825,098,076

As of 2022, steel costs $0.42 per pound. For steel, we will be using 2 pounds per square foot. The total cost of this material is $52,506,241.20.

solution

Solution #2

Another solution we have an idea for is to build the houses deeper in the ground. If the house is deeper in the ground, hopefully any oncoming tornadoes won't have enough to grab on to.

Solution #1

Our first solution is to add more steel reinforcements into the house walls to fight against debris. This will help with the structural integrity of the house.

Our first solution is to add more tempered glass to the windows of each house. This should help with on flying debris coming through the windows and causing possible injuries and fatailities.
