Default Storm shelter, this is how FEMA did it.
The FEMA trailers are all gone now. So thought I would take some photos of one of the 7 or so pairs of storage container shelters they built before the weeds take them over. Each shelter is 2 storage units set side by side directly across from another shelter.

Hmmmm... never thought of an earthquake shelter. I guess you would have to be very quick to jump in it, or the quake would be all over with.
