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?
