Safe Rooms in Israel and Elsewhere

With the events of September 11th 2001 still looming in that backs of our minds, many people don't feel as safe as they used to. The same is true in countries like Israel where the threat of attack is something they deal with on a daily basis.



Many of the dwellings in Israel have what is called a nuclear attack or simply a safe room. This is pretty much a lead lined room in the structure which would alleviate or at least minimize the radiation from a nuclear attack. These rooms are stocked with basic living supplies such as food wated and the other necessities of life.



This room would be used by the entire family in the even of a nuclear attack or any type of hostile enguagement.



These rooms are generally well soundproofed due to the extensive use of lead throughout the room. These rooms can ser a 2 fold purpose, they can be used for playing your music loud and not bothering neighbors, it can be a refuge of solitude for reading The Word of God (The Bible) or simply for deep meditation.



The fallout shelters of the 1950's are similar to most safe rooms, but are not generally within the confines of the home itself. It wasn't a bad idea in the 1950's and it is definitely not a bad idea in the year 2005 and beyond.



This concept might be something to consider, especially for people doing new construction in large urban areas near the East or West Coasts of the Continental United States. I thought this information might be of interest to people who are also considering soundproofing in their new digs.
