Emergency facilities are needed that are close to disaster-prone / casualty locations. With literature research methods, and field surveys and developing a theoretical foundation that is tailored to the situation, conditions and needs of consumers. The analysis includes the use of material considered on the basis of the ability to deal with pressure, the overall ergonomics of the instrument, the design of the shape with a benchmark capable of surviving when the tsunami and anaslis the overall economic level of the product. The conclusion is that this study produced a product in the form of a Safety Pod that can be used 1-6 people to become a means of temporary protection in the event of a tsunami disaster.
