SELECTING A LOCATION OF A PANIC ROOM
Obviously where you place your security room is of the utmost importance. This room should be centrally located and easily accessible in the moment of a threat, with preferably several possible routes to this central location. Although you hope you will never actually need this space, hiding it the corner of the basement of a 3 story home is not a very practical idea. When deciding where to locate your security room you want to consider the worst possible scenario and plan accordingly.
