Life is precarious by nature and as humans, we are incredibly resilient organisms that are capable of enduring hostile conditions. Humans are also anxious creatures. We are conditioned – primarily by the media and a biased mindset – to expect the absolute worse from our natural environment.
To ease our frayed nerves, we undertake many precautionary measures to restore a sense of tranquility and normalcy. We enroll in car insurance and healthcare programs to safeguard against accidents, as well as the unexpected. Contingency plans are almost second-nature. Even our backup has a backup. We can’t even leave the house without grabbing a cellphone charger. When it comes to escaping pending doom, there is no such thing as excess or decadence.
Modular steel safe rooms can protect you from Mother Nature and civil unrest
Why is it then do we skip on obvious safety measures that are not only proven to save lives, but also yield a return on investment? Last year will go down in history as one of the deadliest years for tornadoes. More than 100 tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma last year alone. It’s just Tornado Alley either. In a surge of early spring storms, more 900 homes were destroyed in Dayton, Ohio. The threat of severe and chaotic weather is real as the barometer readings and it’s only getting worse.
Chaotic weather is only one thorn of this triple-threat ensemble. Home evasions and the threat of global war have also increased dramatically in recent years. Insurance is comforting thought, but it doesn’t little to ease the pain of a tremendous lost. Somethings in life are also irreplaceable and no amount of money can bring back someone you love.
Steel assurance can be more valuable than the best insurance
You don’t have to go sky diving or bungee jumping to understand that we dodge death on a daily basis. Life can be a death-defying act by itself. Wouldn’t you feel better if you had a safety net or a harness to pull you back from the edge? A modular safe room or belowground bunker from U.S. Safe Room adds assurance that your family will be protected during those moments of complete chaos when there is no order to the civilized world.
We know what you are thinking…. “But there is a good chance that I will never need a safe room or a bomb shelter? What’s the point?” That’s a good point but consider the similar comparison: There’s also a good chance that you will never have to use your car’s air bag system or your home and office fire sprinkler system. Should we tell the Ford dealership and the local contractor to skimp on these amenities to save money? Of course not.
And who’s to say you won’t use your safe room? Several of our customers have organized their homes to include their safe rooms and bomb shelters into their daily lives. Some have used them as “Man Caves” or “She Sheds” and even the most ardent of preppers have used them as wine cellars. The possibilities are truly endless!
