“What used to be important when purchasing a home such as great school district, close to shopping, and near public transportation, has now changed to warm climate, access to food, and access to water,” he continued.

Ideal locations for nuclear war survival in the US are remote areas in California, Florida, and Texas, away from major cities like San Francisco, Miami, and Houston, with access to water and favorable weather.

Another expert, Jasen Edwards, proposed the Midwest and southeast regions for their access to water and agricultural land, as well as the Rocky Mountains which offer protection against nuclear attacks.

“The elevation of the Rocky Mountains means that fallout would be dispersed more quickly and assisted by higher winds, which could help to minimize any radioactive material reaching the area,” Edwards said.
