Having a safe space for emergencies can provide a sense of reassurance and meet your home security needs. When creating this sanctuary, you want to include the necessary security measures to ensure the space protects you well. Continue reading to learn about the benefits of high-security panic rooms and how to design the best spaces with high-quality products.
Benefits of a High-Security Safe Room
With a safe room in place, you have a line of defense when an emergency strikes and you need an impenetrable space to hide. An adequately equipped safe room offers life-saving protection during a home invasion, natural disaster, or other life-threatening circumstances.
Panic rooms are typically bulletproof and fireproof and can withstand extreme weather conditions. In fact, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) states that when seeking shelter from dangerous storms and winds, such as hurricanes and tornadoes, there's a high probability that those in safe rooms built according to FEMA standards will be safe from injury or death.
While building a panic room is ideal for security and safety, it can still be a comfortable sanctuary. Converting an existing room, such as your main bedroom, into a high-security panic room makes far more sense than constructing an additional room. It also ensures you have a comfortable space when you need protection, encouraging calm during stressful situations.
Recommended Safe Room Security Measures for Maximum Protection
There are a few crucial elements you should consider to ensure your safe room provides the protection and comfort you want, such as:
- Planning and construction: Include a panic room when designing a new home or add it to your existing home, concealing its entrance to make it less noticeable.
- Interior design: Furnish your safe room with comfortable seating and lighting, and incorporate entertainment and monitors for cameras outside the room.
- Structural reinforcement: Strengthen your doors, windows, and walls, bulletproof areas where necessary, and install a robust lock system.
- Communication system integration: Install an emergency communications and alert system to notify the authorities when an emergency strikes.
- Supply storage: Stock up on essentials such as nonperishable foods, blankets, and toiletries in case of an extended safe room stay.
