Well, if there was a nuclear war, most likely at least the upper levels of gov’t would be glowing dust. So, finding them would be kinda irrelevant.
That said, I’m close enough to the New Madrid Fault System for it to be a real worry. A replay of 1811-12 would be quite nasty. Repeated major quakes for several months, 2, 3, or 4 REALLY big ones, in these soils where the effects are amplified and carry long distances... It’s a pretty good guess that all transport except air would be severely disrupted, likely for months. How do supplies and relief get in, even if FEMA is on the ball? How do you get people out? It’s a dang troubling scenario...
Now add in the gov’t competence actually to be expected.
