If it is nuclear war you are concerned about, then get out of any area that might be a target. Move to some extremely isolated region that has what you need to survive. The signs of impending nuclear war would be moving up the steps of what Herman Kahn called the “escalation ladder.” If multiple nuclear-armed nation-states put their nuclear forces on high alert, and it looks like any incident could spark a shooting war, then things are getting serious.
