Living in the middle of nowhere is probably a better survival strategy, FWIW. In the event that the US is attacked, ICBM silos act as a nuclear sponge -- things adversaries have to blow up, lest we fire back using them. ABMs are targets too, because they enhance the sponge. So living far from silos (and their command centers), and far from the large cities that the sponge protects, is a better survival strategy. :)
