Services provided currently by our cryonics organizations are highly vulnerable to physical destruction and to interruption of liquid nitrogen supplies. We should move our facilities at least 100 miles from any large cities and equip them with power generators, a one-year or greater supply of fuel, and their own liquid nitrogen plants. " Most experts say it is no longer a matter of *if* major U.S. cities will be attacked, but only *when* they will be attacked. The biggest danger to cryonics storage facilities today is if they are located in major cities. Yet no one seems to talk about this or do any planing or cost figuring. Alcor could sell its present building for enough money to build a better, safer, cryonics building 50 miles or so out of the Phoenix area. Since there is enough money in the value of the present building, this move to a safer area would cost Alcor nothing. In addition to using the money to build a safer, and more secure structure, Alcor could construct the new building on a 20 acre parcel and restrict access.
