Without giving more credit to director Roland Emmerich, many societies are now gripped with the possibility that one may have to deal with doomsday within his lifetime. Should the series of worldly disaster continue to intensify, the fears are potentially justified. With catastrophic events such as earthquakes, tsunamis and nuclear disasters in Japan, in addition to the uprisings engulfing the Arab world spurring fuel shortages, some see the March cover of Newsweek, “Apocalypse Now”, as a warning that should be taken seriously.

Sometime this year the National Security Staff of the Obama administration oversaw an evaluation that updated the official recommendation for living through a calamity. The summarized report suggests that when caught in the occurrence of a doomsday disaster, especially one with a nuclear nature, the best course of action would be a protective shelter underground. The report states that evacuation should be the last measure taken by anyone.

With this looming uncertainty, private corporations such as Green Eye Technology have witnessed more growth in the last couple of years than they ever had since they started their business. Green Eye Technology CEO George Welhalf noted that their number of received inquires are expanding by the day, due to growing number of ordinary people disheartened by the current events, and are prepared to go to drastic lengths to guarantee their future survival rate. Welhalf have built his business on the notion that although it is not their task to predict the tomorrow, their job is secure more hope for the day-to-day people.

Consequently, Green Eye Technology has reported a dramatic rise in sale of their line of doomsday-proof bunkers, which can be designed to protect a regular family of 4 or entire communities numbering in thousands. While a military standard level of shielding is used during the construction process, efforts have also been put into place to turn the subterranean life more cozy than the fallout shelters from half a century ago. A homely surrounding helps when you want to distract yourself and the shelters come with accoutrements from industrial strength dehumidifiers through to racks for magazine subscriptions!

The main focus however, is that these shelters are constructed with the purpose to persevere not just most serious storms and quakes, but also other possible man-originated disasters. Radioactive fallout, electromagnetic pulse and germ warfare just to name a few. With an in-house air filtration, power generator, and a large storage facility for food and water, these shelters have the capacity to allow its occupants survive underground from weeks to years at a time.

In the same time, shelter companies like Green Eye are also gaining prospective contracts from governmental entities. In the event that an governmental building is taken out of action by a disaster, an emergency communication bunker will become mandatory. Not to mention they will also be interested in protective vaults for their sensitive papers and database servers.

While you might still dream of owning your own home now, maybe you and your local community can be pooling in to invest in one of these military grade shelters. After all, you don’t want to be left out in the cold when apocalypse falls.

However, since no one will know whether or not we will ever have a doomsday, this means you shouldn’t forgo the common sense in your current life like paying the bills, eating healthy, and getting car insurance. Make sure you have plenty of awesome photos to remember the world by!
