The safety of the most powerful man in the world is paramount in keeping peace and order in the United States of America. While the White House may not be as formidable as other presidential palaces or residences of world leaders, it is equipped to keep the president safe from almost every emergency, including fire, flooding, and even a nuclear attack. Reddy Kancharla has read about several bunkers made by the military to protect personnel and some doomsday preppers have made impressive bunkers on their own, but nothing can surpass the Presidential Emergency Operations Center in the White House.
Constructed during World War II, the goal of the PEOC is to protect then President Franklin D. Roosevelt from aerial attacks on Washington. This comes decades after the infamous White House fire that engulfed the executive office of the West Wing. And because the PEOC was created for security purposes, very little detail has been released to the public. In her memoire, former first lady Laura Bush described the room as a command center equipped with television sets, communication equipment, and was sealed by a pair of big steel doors.
