I personally feel wooded areas would be the best for survival. It's always good to learn and expand your options just in case your plan blows up in your face. Not to mention the forest is what I'm more comfortable with and I feel like most people just don't know how to be self sufficient in the woods. the Modern day human is a lazy animal(mostly) that are used to having whatever they need put right in there hands. Still good to know what buildings have bomb shelters and stockpiles of resources. You can always exploit them at a later date. Bomb shelters in particular intrigue me for that fact that if it is a zombie apocalypse our government might panic and just start bombing the bastards. Let's face it our government is a bomb happy bunch and would they care about killing innocent people to save themselves?
When we had the floods, or snowstorms that caused state of emergency, etc., what facilities were focused on by the government?
1. Local school buildings were used to house thousands of flood victims for prolonged amounts of time (some of them).
2. Local jails are not abandoned even when in a flood zone. the prisoners may be moved closer together out of the affected areas but are almost never transported out. during the flood we had last year, three of my prison guard buddies were called in for mandatory overtime because of the movement and condensed atmosphere.
Even if the prison WAS abandoned, many people would also think about this as a good option. Multiple groups would likely fight over possession of said jail for their own well being.
3. Armories and such will not be empty and available for the picking. Every National Guard and Army Reserve Soldier will be called in and the armories will serve as the T.O.C. There will be armed, trained, soldiers in and out all day. Lets not forget to mention how most of those soldiers will have ZERO combat or disaster experience and either freeze up and be useless, or lose it and shoot anything that moves or anyone that doesn't obey their "orders".
Just something to think about during your "planning".
There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.
