Depending on the actual class of disaster your geographic area is prone to be exposed to, this safe spot can be your basement or your attic – or anything in between.

Usually, all people should have a location that is at a high point level that is safe from floods. But, if your area is susceptible to earthquakes, you might want to be under a sturdy door frame. If tornadoes are common in your town, you should choose to have a sub level below ground location that would provide you safety from falling overhead objects and heavy debris.
