If you are using the term "apocalypse"... the solution would be Jerusalem.

I only say this mildly in jest. I realize that the point of the thread has been on surviving the "apocalypse." However, the city of Jerusalem has long been considered that place at which the world will reach its culmination. Three of the world's major faiths agree on that point, and account for nearly half of the population of the entire world.

To use the term apocalypse, however, belies the religious connotation of the term, so, in "preparation of the apocalypse" ... move to Jerusalem.

If you are talking about surviving a disaster, move to Iowa or somewhere in the American heartland. As long as tornadoes and supervolcanoes aren't blowing up, you are relatively safe. Personally, I advocate the return to a mild tribe mentality in the SitX event. Run away in a group. Especially for you wilderness people out there who are saying go to the mountains... five people against a cougar will do far better than you by your lonesome. And, as far as the American heartland goes, barring a catastrophic environmental catastrophe, it will still have far more in terms of edible plants, with easier access.

In the event of a major world-ending asteroid or Nibiru!!(o noez!)... ya know... I'd want to be right under it looking up... just my 2cents
