I've thought about the idea of building a safe room after we move from the north where we have a basement, to Florida, where we won't have a basement. You need to have the space in your home to build a safe room, about the size of a walk in closet. I've heard that the safe rooms cost about $10K to $15K, which isn't much compared to the value of saving your life, if it came down to that!
I'm not sure why glow sticks are even mentioned. Many batteries have a shelf life of about 10 years. You could have several LED lanterns and many extra batteries. The time to buy those materials is long before the hurricane or storms hit, not wait until the last possible minute, as is depicted on the TV news stories where the stores are packed with customers in a mad craze to buy things shortly before every hurricane.
