ABSTRACT:
A protective enclosure for a human being is constructed of a series of rigid panels resistant to earthquake forces. A person can crawl into the enclosure through an access opening, after which the person can pull a flexible roll-type door downwardly across the access opening to achieve a protective housing fully surrounding the person. Interior surfaces of the enclosure are lined with a resilient cushions material so that if the person's body should impact the housing interior surfaces the impact forces will be at least partially absorbed or relieved by the cushioner material. The enclosure includes compartments for storage of emergency items, such as a flashlight or a battery-operated beeper usable to alert persons in the general area that a person is within the enclosure.
