When seeing what your chances are of getting hit by a nuke, you'll go to the website and see what appears to look like Google earth. Click around and you may get an error or two (hopefully not if you have Java), but what we like about this map the most is the options for what kinds of disasters we could potentially face.
For example, here are just a few disasters the map mentions:
Dinasoar Ending Meteor
TSAR Bomb 50 Megaton
Castle Bravo 15 Megaton
Minuteman 1 Megaton
Peacekeeper 350 Kiloton
Fatman 18 kiloton
The above are just a few options as to what kind of bombs could take place. There are also options for how many people are in your city and it also provides a place for you to type in your specific location. Type it in and see what type of results you get!
After checking out to see if your location is safe (or not), you may want to create a fallout shelter quick or move to a safer location.
If you want to check the map out yourself you can see it on Would I Survive a Nuke and see how you fare.

I like the map but it doesn’t seem too look like it takes the terrain into it. Where I live we got a valley just over the hill. The hill down to River level is about 500 ft. And then I’m down in another small area. Most of the storms we get blow right over top of us.
Didn’t work on iPhone

Fallout Boy!
Lol… Ok
Well according to this I should be just fine as far as the nukes go. The nearest impact zone is Eugene, OR (about 220 miles) or Sacramento, CA (about 373 miles). I live on the Pacific coast near the CA/OR border so coastal mountains would help not to mention the weather generally moves west – east so that would take the fallout away from us. As long as the Cascadia Subduction Zone doesn’t rupture at the same time we’ll be okay until the panic and refugees start showing up.
Worked on mine
Well this is depressing.
Saved me a click, you the real MVP.
Look, if the USA gets hit by nukes and your survive… It won’t be long before you wish you didn’t
I wonder if that house across the street from Franklin park still it’s bomb shelter ?
Couldn’t get it to work !!!
The basement of old alameda high has a shelter..lol
Doesn’t work at all. Clickbait.

Lol all I see is a map nothing else telling us anything. I guess we are all
There are a lot of these maps out and every single one is completely different
Please read this before posting.
…but I saw a YouTube video!
Yes
where i live it says i would get 2nd degree burns.that’s with 50 megatons
The most devastating nuclear attack would be in the form of an atmospheric EMP. More Americans would die in 12 months from an EMP than from 30 nukes in our major cities.
lol just a tad of fear mongering going on.
Dinasore? This is bullshit clickbait
If it comes to that, the world is over as we know it!
That’s how I feel
I live 9 miles from central command
Mcdeel AFB
Id rather be taken out quickly and be done ,, than die a horrible death
Just be prayed up with the Lord
It’s international insanity!
Humans suck
The answer is everyone but the one T-800 that’s out there… Somewhere…
