Japan’s Cosmo Power says its “Noah” shelter is made of enhanced fiberglass that can save users from disasters like the one on March 11 that devasted Japan’s northern coast, leaving nearly 20,000 people dead or missing.
Company president Shoji Tanaka says the capsule can hold four adults, and that it has survived many crash tests. It has a small lookout window and breathing holes on top. It also can be used as a toy house for children.
The company completed the capsule earlier this month and already has 600 orders, including two delivered.

What will keep it from being dragged back out to sea when the water recedes? Can it be anchored to something? If so, what should it be anchored to?

This is a brilliant invention and would sell very well among the more affluent chareidi kehillas in Monsey and Lakewood.
Is he sitting on a little shelf or just squatting?
I also think that it could use a shoulder harness to keep people securely in one place so that they don’t smash into each other or into that metal pole.
