| Austria-Google. Is this a good place to hide from a nuclear blast? |
 |
| Google+. Probably not as good as place to go to in case of nuclear blast. |

My thought too:

'Current U.S. Government advice is to 'shelter in place' but you're probably better off making a run for it A mathematical model of nuclear fallout suggests that sheltering in place is not always the best survival strategy If you can reach higher quality shelter in less than 30 minutes after a nuclear blast, then go for it If you’ve got nothing, you definitely need to seek shelter immediately'

'Run! A mathematical model of nuclear fallout suggests that sheltering in place (the first option above) is not always the best survival strategy. If you can reach higher quality shelter in less than 30 minutes (the second option), you should go for it. And if you've got nothing, you definitely need to seek shelter immediately (third option)'

''If your current shelter is poor and higher quality shelter is less than 5 minutes away, the model suggests that you should run there as soon as you can,' Science online reported. 'If you have poor shelter but higher quality shelter is available farther away, you should get to that high-quality shelter no later than 30 minutes after detonation. Depending on the size of the city, if everyone follows this advice, it could save between 10,000 and 100,000 lives.''

'Not everyone is on board with Dillon’s run-like-the-wind strategy, however. 'I disagree with the conclusions,' says Lawrence Wein, an operations research scientist at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. 'He fails to account for several important issues that are vitally important for policy recommendations.''
Then of course there is the 'zombies' concern....

'IN THE past, most nuclear emergency guides have suggested that we should just get to any shelter as soon as possible. But a new mathematical report suggests we're better off sprinting to a better shelter as long as its less than 30 minutes away. Michael Dillon, a scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, created a mathematical model of nuclear fallout survival for some family members who were curious what would happen in the even of a nuclear fallout. "I realised that I really didn't have a great answer," Dillon said to Science online. The official US government advice is to "take shelter in the nearest and most protective building". For most people in the states, that would be the basement, but here in Australia most people don't have one.'
I would think that Australia, like Canada would have many wilderness areas to head to, including some with higher elevations.
Few basements in Australia? Not much of a surprise with the snakes, spiders and crocodiles.
