A "Safe Room" can be a room in the center of your home or a room that has small or few windows. If you live in a two-story house away from the water, go to an interior first-floor room, such as a bathroom, closet or under the stairs. If you live in a multi-story building away from the water, go to the first or second floors and take refuge in halls or other interior rooms away from windows. Interior stairwells and the areas around elevator shafts generally are the strongest parts of a building.
