Cypress Homes would like to wish a Happy New Year to everyone.  However,
there are many that believe 2012 is the year the world ends.  According to
the ancient Mayan calendar, December 21, 2012 potentially marks the end of
the world.  You decide what you’d like to believe, but just in case, here
is a list of some of the safest places on Earth.

1. Istanbul’s Earthquake-Safe Airport

Rather than sitting directly on the ground, this terminal was constructed
on more than 300 isolators that allow the entire building to move as a
single unit in case of an earthquake.  The entire structure can move
side-to-side preventing damage from uneven forces that may occur during
catastrophic disasters.

2. Fort Knox

Fort Knox is known for the Bullion Depository that stores about $137
billion of gold.  This gold is housed within concrete-lined granite walls
and is protected with the utmost security and surveillance.  Not to
mention the 22-ton vault door with a 10-part combination entered by 10
different members who only know their part.

3.  The Svalsgaard Doomsday Seed Vault

This vault is virtually disaster-proof; it lies deep beneath the ice of a
remote, Norwegian island and was constructed with every catastrophe
imaginable in mind.  The Doomsday Seed Vault protects the genetic code for
all critical crops necessary for human survival. The most severe earthquakes, climate changes, tsunamis, or asteroid strikes are no match
for this vault.

No single person is capable of protecting themselves to this extent in
case of a 2012 world-ending catastrophic event, but Cypress Homes can help
you build a realistically safe home.  Safety is just one of the many
reasons people are building with Cypress Homes.  Please check out our
