Creating a Safe Room in Your Home
URL: http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/home-improvement/saferoom1.asp

Description:
Discussion about creating a so-called "safe" or "panic" room. Homeowners can use such rooms to protect themselves from intruders or from major storms. Topics include location of the room, access, communication when in the room, and secure doors. The article notes that windowless bathrooms and closets usually make the best safe rooms. From Bankrate, a site that provides financial interest rate information and stories about personal finance.
