This represents one general estimation for a worst case SHTF disaster scenario where…
for whatever reason, the hordes are leaving the cities in search of food/water/survival, and the extent to which they may reach out…
The majority of the hordes, at best, will probably get no further than about 150 miles for some of the following reasons.
-most people will not leave, have nowhere to go
-most people have half a tank of gas or less
-traffic jams
-road blocks
-inability to walk far without encountering major survival issues
-most people are not prepared to survive without food at the grocery stores
-most people are badly out of physical shape
-most people can’t even build a fire, shelter, etc…
There are two exceptions to mention regarding the validity of zombie hordes moving through the 300-mile diameter (150-mile radius) zones that you see on the map.
1. The map (horde circles) does not reflect the effects of the highway systems and significant roadways. For example there are regions within some of the 300-mile-zones where there are no roads, or barely any. Since most of the horde will initially and primarily stick to the roads and highways, regions with no roads will be far less traveled.
2. Within some of the horde zones, there are geographical obstacles (mountains, forests, canyons, etc.) which most of the horde will not attempt to traverse.
The purpose of the map is to help identify your security risk based on where you live and to help to identify ‘safer’ regions within the USA. I’ve included cities on the southern border of Canada which are populated greater than 100,000 since this may affect some of the northern states of the U.S.
One of the interesting takeaways that I discovered on the map…
Take a look at West Virginia, which is tucked right in the middle of the eastern U.S.
I noticed the region towards the southern end of the state which is entirely free from any of the 300 mile zones. I didn’t expect that… Interesting. It looks like that area and most of Maine are the only ‘clear’ zones in the eastern U.S.
The other ‘safer’ regions are fairly obvious.
