In many Latin American countries, the idea of a *cuarto seguro* (safe room) has become popular after natural disasters and security concerns. While the phrase is perfectly neutral, using *hogar* instead of *casa* can sound a bit more formal or affectionate. In emergency‑preparedness drills, authorities often advise families to choose a room without windows, with a sturdy door, and to keep a small emergency kit inside.
