Survival Home


Plan 1: Ranch Family Home for 10 People, on Moraine Ground

Plan two buildings, one underground storage area (potentially with some smaller buildings on top) and one building for residency and indoor gardening. The residence should be a two-story building, using the basement for gardening and ground floor as a living area. Both should be made earthquake resistant by using reinforced concrete with 3 times the normal amount of iron bars. The iron bars of the storage area will be bound as a Faradays Cage to avoid any EMP. The base will be 1 meter thick, but no base isolation is necessary since the moraine ground will probably provide the same isolating effect.
