The best locations to survive a nuclear war are underground and in the middle of larger buildings. As you move, it is important to identify appropriate shelters to look for in the event of a detonation. Due to COVID-19, many places you may pass through on your way to and from work may be closed or not have regular business hours. Unless you are told to go out, it is best to stay still until the risk of contamination decreases.
The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends staying home for at least 24 hours after a nuclear explosion. The Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) established in 1987 severely restricts the spread of weapons together with the information and technology used to manufacture them, which has altered the nuclear landscape.
The small and sparsely populated nation of Iceland is largely divorced both from most major international policies and from physical contact with another country. The combination of physical isolation, neutrality on the government scene, and an inhospitable climate make it a tremendous place to stay safe from nuclear problems. New Zealand is a charming agricultural country that feels like a small town, no matter where you go. Not carrying nuclear weapons, having almost no military, plenty of space to disperse and being far from everywhere except Australia, this even has a warm and pleasant climate to spend the end of the day comfortably. Countries that have long been important bases for the United States military often rank high on the list of places that will destroy nuclear bombs.
In the case of Guam, the truth is that no one wants it. It is a beautiful land, but isolated, with few resources and no threat to anyone. More than 400 islands, French Polynesia is too dispersed to warrant an attack, and far enough from any coast for water to sink nuclear rain before it falls amid trade winds. When you're looking for a place to live in a post-apocalyptic landscape, you can't afford to be picky. However, with Tristan de Cunha you win on all fronts.
It is located about 1,700 miles off the coast of South Africa (Cape Town), which means you would be safe from at least the initial explosions and the first rainfall. For the list, we made some difficult decisions that, at first glance, may seem a little strange. Yes, there are busy trade routes around Iceland, but the country itself is remote and offers plenty of shelters. We also added Denver, Colorado as a calculated risk - every list deserves one or two dark horses. Easter Island is not as fat land as you suggest - once it was covered with forests but now it's just a matter of scrubbing weeds into granulated ash that doesn't retain moisture or provide plants with a lot of nutrients. The people of Rapa Nui cut down all the trees, and the last of the deforestation occurred in the 16th century.
There is a military base in Exmouth, West Aus and a few others in that state, as well as communications bases in Tasmania. Northern and central Australia is also outside, with bases in Tindall and near Humpty Doo and Darwin Harbour leased by China. Pine Gap in Alice Springs is in conjunction with the United States and another facility 30 km northwest of Adelaide. I grew up in the era of the Cuban missile crisis. I practiced bending and covering exercises in the classroom.
I read dozens of books and stories about World War II and post-apocalyptic life. In “On The Beach” (195), after a nuclear war in the northern hemisphere, the last scene is the deserted streets of Melbourne, Australia - showing that anyone can wage a nuclear war without threatening the end of humanity. Perth may not be a target for Russian ICBMs but China recently threatened Australia with “non-nuclear ICBMs” - every major city in the United States is a potential target. Guam is a strategic target as it houses Andersen Air Force Base; same thing goes for Iceland at least Reykjavik as it has been part of NATO for decades. The only problems with islands are if a nuclear attack causes extreme temperature changes and ice melts in the South and North Pole regions - wouldn't that cause sea level rise and islands around the world endanger being claimed by the sea? At least inland on a mountain 5500 miles from the nearest area of detonation of atoms you have a better chance of surviving an underground bunker with a way to grow food and filter water would be the only way to survive. You should have included Mauritius in your list - a small island in Indian Ocean with population 1.5 million too small and insignificant to interest superpowers. It scares me that people even search Google for best place to survive nuclear war - I live in Hull UK on east coast north we would be wiped out but not by explosion here but by radiation rain from Manchester Leeds etc. It scares me and honestly if I won lottery I would move New Zealand they are very unlikely get hit soil will be great for farming far from consequences live off grid there build Defo French Polynesia society where my passport ???????????? Guam would be on target list while dense forests lush wilderness help dissipate any nuclear fallout also face extremely limited infrastructure plenty bears who will be happy kill you without sophisticated codes red phones. Since then nuclear things possessed exceptional political power atomic bombs have...
