Storage facilities are constructed with proper designing therefore the things stored in these locations remain secure and safe. A lot of these facilities have the ability to withstand high winds, some even include round-the-clock surveillance and restricted access security checkpoints. With the extra protection, your survival gear should be safe from both environmental and human thieves. When things happen, it can be comforting to know that your critical supplies are safe.
