Connecticut’s Last Stand: Where You’ll Survive the End of the World (And Where You Definitely Won’t)

I've reminded myself numerous times to do myself a favor and avoid the news app on my phone, but I just can't resist. It seems that every day, no matter where you look around the world, there’s conflict, fighting, and people suffering. So, I decided to visit my therapist to see if she had any advice on how to cope with the overwhelming and frightening news from around the globe. Her suggestion was simple: "STOP LOOKING AT YOUR NEWS FEED EVERY DAY!"

Naturally, I didn’t take her advice. Because, really, how can you look away when the world feels like it’s unraveling one headline at a time? Instead of feeling better, I found myself going down the rabbit hole, wondering not if the world might fall apart, but when, and more importantly, where in Connecticut I might actually stand a chance if things went full apocalypse. It’s not about paranoia — it’s about preparation... with a dash of morbid curiosity. Because let’s face it: some towns might give you a fighting chance while others might leave you wishing you’d picked a better zip code.

Remember, survival isn't just about location—it's also about preparation, adaptability, and community. Stay safe out there!
