Knee-jerk reactions are an American pastime. Whenever sensationalism dominates the headlines, Americans panic splurge and hoard to head-off whatever invisible boogeyman perpetrates their thoughts. When COVID seeped into our daily frame of mind, millions of Americans hoarded countless roles of toilet paper. Did they even know what COVID would do to them? Hacking of the Colonial Pipeline elicited a similar response, as millions of Americans bogarted the last drops of gasoline in mason jars, IBC totes and even grocery bags. We aren’t saying that these threats weren’t real, but the responses were over-the-top. Questionable decision-making like these can only make emergency situations even more dire. Preparedness can instill a sense of calm and curtail feelings of foreboding doom. Stay prepared for humanity’s worst and civil unrest with a disaster shelter from U.S. Safe Room.
We live in an impulse-driven society. Rational thinking, independent research, deductive reasoning are on the verge of extinction. Click-bait driven articles and unvetted half-truths propagating the channels of social media have driven our collective anxiety to new heights. We couldn’t even trust the self-serving rhetoric from many politicians, who we should always be able to trust. Never before has the cycle of ‘bad news’ hovered so closely to our comfort zones. By taking a step back and evaluating our surroundings, we can more accurately gauge these so-called threats. After closer examination, we’re confident that you agree that the world isn’t coming to an abrupt end – we just need to disconnect from time-to-time. You can restore feelings of control and calm by preparing for those worst-case scenarios. Disaster shelters from U.S. Safe Room can be this saving grace. Even if the time to head for the hills never comes, you can rest assured knowing that you are always prepared.
Stay prepared for the unexpected with steel gauge disaster shelter
Do safe places still even exist? Are the wolves really closing in? How close are we to the next great catastrophe? Climate change, nuclear proliferation, killer tornadoes and civil unrest are once again dominating the national narrative. Even if the post-election climate, the nation remains in perpetual volatility. One errant spark or comment taken out of context can escalate to calamity. America remains a powder keg. Warmer weather is synonymous with unrest and disaster. Generally, no one likes to protest in colder weather and tornadic activity is once again ramping up in our nation’s heartland. Hurricane season is quickly approaching, and as the impact of humanity’s encroachment on the world’s ecology becomes a terrifying reality, we will once again inevitably find ourselves at the mercy of another pandemic or worldwide emergency. We aren’t not trying to scare you into buying a safe room or disaster shelter. The reality is that we live in a globally connected society with more people than ever before, so we will always hear the bad news first. If we are being truly honest with ourselves, the world is probably in no worst shape than it was 60, 80 or 100 years ago. Remember WWII?
We can’t always deter misinformation or bad news from reaching us. Not all of us can change how we might interpret that information. What we can do, however, is act proactively instead reactively. Being prepared can ease nervous tension and allow cooler and rational thinking to prevail. If the past year has taught us anything, America is woefully prepared for the next natural disaster. We couldn’t even handle a toilet paper or Lysol cleaner shortage. How are we going to react when there’s a real life food shortage of a wide sweeping electrical grid failure that leaves us in the dark for days, if not weeks? Previous generations would likely have scoffed at how woefully unprepared we are. Our grandparents’ prided themselves with a “pull yourselves up by the bootstraps” mentality that led them out of the great depression. I’m sure many of our forbearers canned food to get through the winter months and pinched every penny that fell out of grandpa’s loafers. We need to revisit that mentality, but add a modern twist. We live in an era of rapid technological advancement. We procure and produce building materials with tensile strength that has never been seen before in such great quantities.
At U.S. Safe Room, we have harnessed these technological innovations for the greater good. Our disaster shelters are comprised of quarter-inch steel panels and solid weld units that are capable of withstand wind speeds of 250 miles per hour. We have designed the perfect home-away-from-home for when disaster strikes. Each locker comes with the option of installation for bathroom fixtures, air water filtration, electrical battery backup, storage shelving, an alcohol burning stove and solar powering charging systems.
