    security alarms and phone/internet lines

    I like the hubris that if the world goes to shit and they have to hole up for months that they think telecommunications or security will still work how they expect it.

      Locks, cameras etc. work on battery power just fine. Also, safe rooms are not intended for the apocalypse. It’s where you hide from home intruders while you wait for the police.

      If I had the money, I’d build one I could survive in for a month…but for natural disasters (tornados and snowstorms). My requirement would be having enough to get by for a week which means I have to plan to get by for at least a month as I might have guests.

      If nuclear war breaks out, I’ll be surface level hoping the first one to hits directly me in the face.

      They have multiple purposes, like being a place to hide from an angry mob, or as a storm shelter. Some even have secret escape tunnels.
