🧭 Where’s the Safest Place to Be During a Nuclear Attack?

• Far from Likely Targets:
  Urban and military hubs (e.g., D.C., New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Diego) are primary targets. Remote or rural areas may escape both the blast and immediate fallout.

• Inland States like Montana, North Dakota, and Nebraska:
  These areas may be less likely targets, have natural shielding (mountains, distance), and are more likely to have old missile silos that could double as shelters.

• Washington D.C.:
  Has a high concentration of bunkers—but also the highest chance of being targeted.

⚠️ Can You Survive a Nuclear Attack Without a Bunker?

Yes—but with caveats.

If you’re:

• Outside the immediate blast radius (i.e., not in the center of the detonation)

• Sheltered in a deep basement or improvised fallout shelter

• Stocked with food, water, and essentials for at least 2–3 weeks

• Able to seal off and filter your air intake

…then you may survive both the blast and the fallout.

🏙️ Florida’s Fallout Shelter Problem

As you noted, southern Florida is particularly vulnerable, with only three known fallout shelters for over 6 million people, all located in Miami. Residents in underserved regions should seriously consider creating a personal shelter or retrofitting a basement.

🕳️ What About the “Underground Cities”?

Rumors of secret government bunkers like those at:

• Mount Weather (VA)

• Cheyenne Mountain Complex (CO)

• Raven Rock (PA)

…do exist. But these facilities are not accessible to the public and are primarily for government continuity and elite sheltering.
