It's part of the process. I have fire boxes that are watertight. They aren't that expensive and this man isn't an amateur.

Cost? I mean, your photos may constitute your entire life, but what
does "proper" storage at this level cost? And how does one go about
finding such a facility? Many photographers simply don't *have* an
extra grand a month (total wild-ass guess at cost).
And remember Jacques Lowe! (Kennedy-era negatives destroyed when WTC
collapsed on top of bank vault he had stored them in.)
Perhaps more interestingly, what constitutes an "adequate" level of
archival photo storage? Protection from fire and flooding, and some
degree of temperature and humidity control, and some level of physical
security, I assume are the basics you intend? (Protection from fire is
often done via sprinkler systems, so the combination of protection from
fire and flooding seems...difficult to find.)
