Much has been written about what to include in a "Disaster Kit", but very little can be found concerning what to stock in a "Panic Room". As the movie by the same name depicts, a "panic room" is a secure room in a house (usually) or building where the resident can retreat and hide when faced with any type of threatening situation.
In the movie, a woman has just moved into a different house with her daughter. The mother is recently separated/divorced from the father. Unknown to them, a small band of robbers had previously cased the house, choosing to come back later to break in. The robbers are unaware of the new residents. After moving in and unpacking, the mother (Jodi Foster) is shown drinking wine while trying to figure out how to set the security codes for the doors. The house also has video security, but the mother seems to not know how it works. By the time she awakens and realizes there is a threat, she knows she cannot get her daughter out of the house safely. The daughter is discovered; the mother hides, trying to find a way to rescue her daughter. Finally, they both make it into the "panic room", a room added on by the previous owner who had stored "untraceable Bearer's Bonds" in a safe in the panic room. The movie's tension mounts when we learn the child has a life-threatening medical condition, but the girl's medicine is not in the panic room.
A panic room must be individualized based on that person's or family's needs. Some of the items people may want to store in a panic room could include:
IF qualified to use, some type of personal protection or weapon. Use caution, however! Any weapon can be used against the person or family who is hiding.
In addition, the construction of a "panic room" must include attention to these areas:
