HOW TO IMPLEMENT A HIGH SECURITY SHELTER IN THE HOME

1996, by Joel M. Skousen. 111 pages illustrated plus plans. $25 plus $6 s/h

CONCEPT:

This special report provides architectural plans for building a shelter into an existing home, using do-it-yourself building techniques. You’ll find information about new construction and poured concrete shelters in The Secure Home, but this report deals specifically with building a shelter in an existing basement.

Most existing homes with basements will not have enough room to pour a new, 12-inch concrete ceiling. But using the unique techniques detailed in this special report, you can create a ceiling with reinforced concrete block. The finished room is a reinforced storm shelter that:

  • protects your family from nature’s highest winds—tornadoes and hurricanes.
  • provides a crush-proof, reinforced shelter against earthquakes.
  • serves as a concealed vault room that stores your valuables safely and securely.
  • acts as a high-security, secret hiding place if your family faces an intruder. Various communications devices such as a telephone can be stored within the shelter. The shelter can also contain a concealed exit for emergencies.
  • provides live-in fallout protection in case of a nuclear attack, complete with bunk beds, water, food, cooking center, bathroom, and filtered ventilation.

How To Fortify a Closet

HOW TO FORTIFY A CLOSET, special report by Mr. Skousen. 16 pages, illustrated (now included as chapter 4 to the High Security Shelter book, above cited.)

CONCEPT:

Many readers of How to Implement a High Security Shelter in the Home found that they did not have space to build a dedicated vault room, or that the room was too expensive for their budget. This prompted the creation of How to Fortify a Closet, a 14-page section that contains designs and instructions on how to fortify a bedroom walk-in closet or other closet in the home.

How to Fortify a Closet details three progressive levels of security, including a bullet-proof option without solid masonry construction or costly bullet-proof fabrics. Emergency escape exits, concealed entrances, and high security doors, locks and jambs are all covered.

Even if you are building a high security vault room, you may also want to implement a security closet into your master bedroom. This will give you a safe room against intrusion, and provide a secure storage area for valuables you access frequently, such as furs, jewelry, or important papers. The closet will also help protect the items from fire.
