Four Things To Keep In Your Safe Room
A safe room is a secure space in your home or business that can provide safety during a tornado or other severe weather. At FamilySAFE Shelters in Oklahoma, we’ve been building safe and trusted safe rooms for more than 25 years! Once you have a quality safe room built, there are four main things you should always keep tucked away.
Shop Safe Rooms
Emergency Supplies
During a tornado or severe weather, it’s important to have emergency supplies on hand. Keep items like first aid kits, flashlights, batteries, and an NOAA weather radio in your safe room. FamilySAFE Shelters offer customized safe rooms that can include storage for emergency supplies, ensuring that you have everything you need in one place.
Water and Non-Perishable Food
You should also keep water and non-perishable food in your safe room. During a severe weather event, it may be difficult to leave your safe room to get food and water. Keeping these items on hand ensures that you have enough to sustain yourself and your family until the storm passes. Grab items that are high in vitamins, proteins, and calories like energy bars and peanut butter.
Personal Documents
Important personal documents like passports, birth certificates, and insurance papers should be kept in your safe room. In the event of a storm or other natural disaster, these documents can easily be damaged or destroyed and take months or years to replace.
Comfort Items
A tornado or severe weather event can be stressful and frightening. Keep comfort items like blankets, pillows, and books in your safe room to help you and your family stay calm during the storm. Consider asking each member of your family to pack a few items to leave in the storm shelter. FamilySAFE Shelters can also customize your safe room to include seating, lighting, and ventilation to make the space comfortable for an extended period.
Having a safe room is a must-have for people living in areas prone to severe weather, and by keeping essentials stocked in your safe bunker, you can ensure your safety during a storm.
