Safe Spaces
Creating safe spaces within conventionally built housing that can provide a short notice protected area, particularly for families, elderly and vulnerable people who find it different to evacuate at speed.
Examples from the US
Building safe spaces in a high tornado risk location. These are above ground and therefore far safer than traditional shelters that are prone to flooding.
