In tornado-prone regions, many do. They are not built for that purpose, but schools and office buildings may be designated as tornado shelters. Just about any sturdy building can be used. These site should be used by people who find themselves outside, in their cars, or who live in trailers homes. If you are already in a house you should shelter in place there rather than venture outside.

Are tornadoes more likely to hit trailer parks than other communities?
No. However a tornado that strikes a trailer park is more likely to cause major damage. In most cases it would take at least an EF3 tornado to destroy a frame house. Only about 4% of tornadoes are rated EF3 or higher. By contrast trailers are usually of a much weaker construction and are usually poorly anchored to the ground or not anchored at all and so are much more easily destroyed. Trailers are often destroyed by EF2 and high EF1 tornadoes. This means that perhaps 20% of tornadoes are capable of destroying trailers. Since trailers are more easily destroyed trailer parks also present an increased risk of tornado-related deaths and injuries. Because of these factors, a tornado that strikes a trailer park is more likely to come to the attention of the public.
