Safe Rooms / Securing Valuables
Protecting Valuables Through Concrete Concealment:
Now more then ever people are deciding that they want to have direct control and custody of their valuables. These valuables may range from Important Documents, Digital Media, Precious Metals, Guns & Ammo, or even Family Heirlooms. With this control, concerns regarding Fire, Theft, Concealment, Protection against Natural Disasters, and Personal Safety arise. Simply purchasing a safe for you valuables is only offering false security. A couple of things to think about; If an intruder were to enter your home and found your safe, where would their focus be? I can attest from past experience that the side walls of large gun type safes are easily compromised allowing access to its contents. When threatened with violence against a family member, I am sure we would open the safe rather then risk harm to a loved one. Is the fire rating and waterproof properties enough to ensure safety of your valuable paper items? The first and most important step in protecting your valuables is Concealment.

Protecting People With FEMA Approved Safe Rooms:
On the basis of 60 years of tornado history and more than 150 years of hurricane history, the United States has been divided roughly into four zones that geographically reflect the number and strength of recorded extreme windstorms (Figure 2-7). As you can see, Southern MN lies in Zone IV, which has experienced some of the most and the strongest tornado activity in the nation.
