Here is a map showing nuclear targets in the US. If an attack were to happen it gives you an idea of which way to go.

I live just a couple miles from Indian Point, and if that goes up in smoke, I'm using the old "Tried & True" method....
"DUCK AND COVER"! I hear it works great!

Eh, all joking aside
I don't know how much you can really do, in this type of situation...Unless you have an underground bunker! I do have full coverage gas masks here, with good filters, but, realistically??? What are they gonna get me? I might live an hour longer! LOL!! Yeah, you can have a good Evac plan? (IF you have advanced notice!) You can bug out (kinda)?? Hotels?? Gridlock alone, is gonna be IN-f'n-SANE, or, damned near ANY traveling is gonna be next to impossible...Major highways, all local roads, etc, would be useless, and backed up for 100 miles!

I've already lived in Oregon and Maine... Middle of Idaho looks the best to me.

Only problem is the a-hats from Seattle and PDX.
I never would have considered Idaho in the past. But I read the patriots book series and became curious about it. The more I learn about it The more I like. It seems awesome in so many ways. Not to mention the absolutely stunning scenery.
I have to get there to visit sometime to see if it's as good as I hope.
I've tried to learn about the Lewiston area, coure d alene, sandpoint, etc... I've even tried to learn about Boise. Even though Boise is a decent sized city my thinking is if I love in the exurbs there I can still enjoy many of the benefits of a free state while being near a major employment area.
If I was self employed I would probably move somewhere near sandpoint.
McCall seems pretty neat too I will have to try and learn more. Definitely not cheap real estate.

Not sure where you live...at that point your better off to try and hunker down in your basement in a ad hoc fall out shelter. You would want to put as much mass as possible between you and the friendly gamma particles.... Example, pick the upwind corner of your basement so you would be surrounded by dirt and concrete on 2 sides and on the floor above the basement start loading up any heavy dense wooden furniture, couches, refrigerators etc that you could over that corner of the house to try and absorb the majority of gamma radiation.
Its worth a shot...

I'm thinking central Oneida county is somewhat safe.

I was thinking more along the lines of 20 kegs of Heineken, inviting about 100 friends, catered food, tons of hot chicks, and throwing the biggest "Anything Goes!" party ever!
I live on the border of Westchester & Putnam Counties, just a few miles from Indian Point Nuclear Plant. If I'm gonna die from Nuclear fallout, I'm goin' down with a big ass smile on my face!

Airports and nuclear power stations on terror alert as government officials warn of 'credible' cyber threat
1 April 2017 • 10:14pm
Britain’s airports and nuclear power stations have been told to tighten their defences against terrorist attacks in the face of increased threats to electronic security systems.
Security services have issued a series of alerts in the past 24 hours, warning that terrorists may have developed ways of bypassing safety checks.
Intelligence agencies believe that Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) and other terrorist groups have developed ways to plant explosives in laptops and mobile phones that can evade airport security screening methods.
Now there are concerns that terrorists will use the techniques to bypass screening devices at European and US airports.
There were also fears that computer hackers were trying to bypass nuclear power station security measures. Government officials have warned that terrorists, foreign spies and “hacktivists” are looking to exploit “vulnerabilities” in the nuclear industry’s internet defences.
Jesse Norman, the energy minister, told The Telegraph that nuclear plants must make sure that they “remain resilient to evolving cyber threats”.

Except that Griffiss AFB is likely still a primary target for a lot of foreign nations "First Strike" attack. Being home to EADS and all..
