Safety and Security, because safety needs are the most fundamental needs for the human kind,

which include personal security, financial security, and health and well-being.

When we make decisions about our lives, we try our best to ensure our own safety. We

purchase insurances, such as health and to protect ourselves should something unexpected

occur. We do these things to increase our sense of safety and security and make us feel more

comfortable in our lives, When your physiological needs have not been met, it is difficult to

meet your needs for safety. For example, if you are homeless and do not know where your next

meal is coming from, it is unlikely that you will be concerned with financial security or a safe

environment because your need to have food and shelter from day to day is most prominent.

Homeless individuals are oftentimes not in safe environments. Their most prominent needs are

food and water, and they seek shelter wherever they can, even if they aren't safe.
