What is your worst fear? You might be surprised to learn that what keeps you up at night is a top threat to humanity.
Do you fear death? Are you afraid of dying alone? Maybe you are plagued by everyday phobias, such as a fear of heights, spiders or enclosed spaces.
Unfortunately, fear is a foreboding and dominating undercurrent to our daily thoughts and actions. Whether we are cognizant of it or not, we are ruled in some fashion by underlying manifestations of our subconscious minds.
New fears?
The connectivity of our collected state has done little to quell these fears, either. Everyday, we are faced with new and emerging perils that were unfathomable just a day ago. In the aftermath of WWII, the temporary jubilation of defeating the Nazis and other fascists powers was tempered by the sobering reality of the Cold War and nuclear proliferation.
For the next four decades, Americans lived in perpetual fear of atomic annihilation. ‘Duck and Cover’ drills became the norm in classrooms across the nation and a burgeoning middle class invested their post-war dividends into underground bomb bunkers and fall-out shelters.
U.S. Safe Room can protect you from rising threats
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Americans, once again, felt a lull in apprehension and trepidation. We could all breath a little easier. Despite rising domestic tension at home, the ‘90s were relatively quiet and unmatched in terms of ease and comfort. This changed once again with the events of Sept. 11, 2001 and the omnipresent vibe of another imminent terrorist attack. Again, we found ourselves hesitant to resume our daily functions and travel plans. But like any other previous threat, the fear of a terrorist attack soon faded into the background.
The perils of climate change and the need for steel protection
Today, we are faced with a terrifyingly new threat. Unlike previous menacing perils, the likelihood of this new fear becoming a reality is almost a foregone conclusion. For the first time in modern history, mankind is facing an existential crisis that could affect human civilization as we know it and like the threat of nuclear war, we have only ourselves to blame.
Former Colombian President and Nobel peace laureate Juan Manuel Santos recently stated that the threat of nuclear war has now been overtaken by the prospect of climate change.
“After World War II, the world was facing a threat from a nuclear war… The threat from a nuclear war remains… but we have something worse, which is a certainty. That is climate change… If we don’t act, we will perish.”
Juan Manuel Santos, former Colombian President.
Even more devastating to the aspect of a climate calamity is the sincere possibility that our elected officials are lacking the poise to adequately address this growing crisis.
“Some countries still think that moving toward green economy is a luxury. Actually, it has become a question of to be or not to be,”
Santos.
The most optimistic predictions still puts us in the path of peril even if we take drastic action today. Hurricanes and tornadoes are predicted to increase in intensity and record-breaking droughts and heat waves could become the norm. This top threat to humanity isn’t going away anytime soon.
When the world around us fails to insulate us from the top threat to humanity that derail our daily lives, we must look inward for strength and protection. At U.S. Safe Room, we can help you heed this call with our venerable line of above ground safe rooms and below ground bomb shelters and bunkers.
We know what’s going through your mind right now. A bomb shelter or bunker? Is that what this world is really coming to? Unfortunately, the answer is a resounding, ‘yes.’ While climate change might never reach the epic proportions of civil unrest and unbearable environmental conditions that Hollywood has impressed upon us, we can say with certainty that the world of tomorrow will look drastically different. Now is in the time to invest in protection that is up to the task of not only safeguarding your family, but also giving your nerves a much-needed break.
Comfort below ground to keep you safe from top threat to humanity
We realize that the phrases “bomb shelters” and “underground bunkers” don’t necessarily conjure thoughts of comfort and ease. We get it. Steel isn’t exactly synonymous with comfort. With a U.S. Safe Room investment, you can still your nerves with highly heralded steel protection. Our shelters are versatile as they are durable and are equipped with a wealth of options.
