Safe (container)

Definition and stakes

United States. Office of Civil Defense,  In Time of Emergency

“ Be sure to:
--Keep all food in covered containers.
--Keep cooking and eating utensils clean.
--Keep all garbage in a closed container, or dispose of it outside the home when it is safe to go outside. If possible, bury it. Avoid letting garbage or trash accumulate inside the shelter, both for fire and sanitation reasons.
Emergency Toilet Facilities
In many home shelters, people would have to use emergency toilets until it was safe to leave shelter for brief periods of time.

Portrait of L. Frank Baum L. Frank Baum,  The Boy Fortune Hunters in Panama

“ To be honest with you, she’s old and leaky, and none too safe. But she’s got a valuable cargo aboard, that must be safe delivered if we can manage it, and we are all of us well paid to do our duty by the owners. My instructions are to hug the land and make a harbor if bad weather comes. At the worst we can run the ship on the shingle and save the cargo in that way—for the cargo is worth a dozen such tubs. ”
