I have been kicking the idea around of having an emergency insulated shed that one could just unfold if the power went out. Could even be indoors if not flat on the ground. We have a large closed area in the basement lined with cedar. My thought was to use 3 inch rockwool panels in wood frames. There are some foil backed panels that don't collapse. If the design worked, it could be a commercial product. Many of those out there.
But today I found that some of the panels could contain formaldehyde.
So much to consider and research.
 
Would that be for emergency winter shelter @Mary Stetler ? You would have to have a heat source that would be vented o the outside. I set things up a bit like that with a cold cellar, but that was outside the house. I don't use that now as it got infested with mice when I tried to store stuff in there, but I do have an insulated shed outside the house that has a wood stove for heat and cooking. It is a possible alternative shelter should the house be damaged by an earthquake.
