My search on existing threads did not yield any germane results, so I am posting this new thread. I moved to Indiana late last year from the arid West where we didn't have humidity issues or basements. The house we moved into earlier this year has an unfinished basement - the first basement I have ever had. I am thinking that it would be a great place to place the safe and also ammo. However, my internet surfing has shown mixed results on storing these items in the basement. On one hand, the basement will protect better against fire , especially if against an outside corner. On the other hand humdity is a concern, as is the potential for flooding. Are there any tips to deal with these concerns. Any other things I should address?
