ABSTRACT:
An underground silo for storing emergency supplies includes a cylindrical body portion having a closed bottom and side walls and an open top with a flange around the top, a convex cover configured for mating with said open top and having a flange for mating with the flange of the body portion, and a hatch in the cover for accessing stored supplies. The body portion are preferably made of seamless woven fiberglass. The cover includes a lip extending downwardly from the flange for encircling the flange of the body portion. A sealant is provided between the flanges of the cover and body portion to facilitate a fluid tight seal. By placing the silo underground the lives of emergency supplies are extending due to thermal insulation of the underground location.
