Any particular model or brand? There isnt a lot of water just a few inches that builds up from time to time.
Side note. Id put a small emergency kit in there a couple bottles of water, bandages, and a decent flash light maybe a battery powered radio. It wont hurt..... I'd also hit it with insecticide every time you spray. Don't wanna hide from the storm with a bunch of creepy crawlers.
You can get a cheap, small in-line pump that connects to the end of an electric drill and uses garden hoses. Something like this:

I have one I use for water, and one I use for oils (like emptying my lawn mower gas tank and crank case). The price is right if you just want to use it occasionally to pump some water.

This thread is full of win already....never seen those before. Going to grab one today. Thanks Cards....
I've seen those old bulkhead doors on a lot of cellars and basements over the years. Most leak some....I'd caulk it up and change out whatever gaskets or weather stripping there is (or add some).
You have to keep those things painted... they rust out on the flange that you bolt through some times.

In order for the sump to work to it's full potential, you will have to cut a hole, in the lowest point in the cellar, big enough to hold the sump. This way, all the water will be removed and you will not have a thin layer of water left. Safety issues include mold, algea buildup that will be slicker than pig snot.
