The High Security Shelter - How to Implement a Multi-Purpose Safe Room in the Home

When catastrophe strikes and the power is out, do you have quick access to basic backup power: When a storm is bearing down and the roads are blocked with traffic do you have a safe place to ride things out? If the unthinkable happens and a nuclear, biological or chemical weapon detonates nearby do you have a safe, filtered place to live until the threat passes? Can you communicate if internet, cell phones, local radio and TV broadcasting services are all down? Recent natural disasters and local crises have caused havoc by halting even a few of these conveniences and even larger threats are looming on the horizon. No one knows when the "big one" will hit-whether that means hurricane, earthquake or war. This is the all-new edition of Joel Skousen's do-it-yourself guide to help you plan, construct and outfit a high security shelter within your own house. It includes updated plans for easier construction, updated details and new source information for these aspects of your shelter: High security rooms, doors and locks; Fire-resistant barriers and materials; Hardened reinforced structure; Dense materials for radiation protection; Backup electrical power; Filtered air systems; EMP and surge protection; Tunnels and emergency escape routes; Concealment strategies; Recommended equipment; Water storage; Plumbing and electrical systems; Resources for products and suppliers; Barter and stockpile lists... and much more.
