You
might be looking at your nation a little differently lately.
There
have always been dangerous neighborhoods and boroughs. Places like Compton,
Kensington, and Camden might come to mind when you think of places that
have a reputation for crime. Some of these areas have actually improved
from when I was child. However, there are lots of places all around this
nation that have been dangerous and many that are getting worse.
The
move towards lawlessness in many of our biggest cities has been brought on
by the current attitude towards police and police funding. As states bandy
about the issues and people worry about things like natural disasters and
economic decline, many have moved or considered moving.
What
are the safest zones in the US?
Safest Cities
There
are safe havens all around this nation. There are places that have
historically had low crime and great community cohesion. The key in most of
these cities and towns is ownership and loyalty. Most often transient
places are dangerous, and people are more likely to commit crimes in these
places.
Let’s
look at some of the safest cities and towns in America:
With a
population just over 100,000 this smaller town in Texas is a very appealing
place for preppers to live. It is also a very safe place with a median
income of $70,000.
The
low poverty rate in Round Rock has much to do with the safety and security
of this Texas town.
Round
Rock has been dubbed a “super suburb” as a place just outside of Austin
This
Chicago suburb is a gem in an area that most people would not expect. The
River Walk is an important part of Naperville, but it is hardly the only
thing that this suburb offers. A population 144,000 people are a
successful and well paid lot. The median household income is over $100,000.
The
minimal crime rate, per 100,000 people, has much to do with the low poverty
rate which is just over 4%. 77.6 violent crimes per 100,000 people is
something to be proud of.
The
safety of Naperville could also have to do with the tremendous outdoor
opportunities. With over 130 parks and 2 public golf courses, there is
nearly a park for every person!
If you
are going to pick a new safe place to live, why not consider a place where
the weather is wonderful! Along the southern coast of Florida Port St.
Lucie is a beautiful tropical zone with $169,000 a year median income.
You
will have to be prepared for hurricanes. An evacuation plan is needed as
the southern coast of Florida is at risk during hurricane season, but we
are preppers!
You
will not have as much to worry about when it comes to violent crime as
there are just 115 violent crimes per 100,000 people. You will love near
breweries, botanical gardens, preserves and marinas. Great fishing on the
coast, too!
Best Regions to Survive Disasters
Along
with safe cities and towns America also features some great regions to
setup a life that are far away from some of the biggest threats. Remember,
people are only one threat. Mother nature can have a devastating affect on
the North American continent and has done so in the past. From massive
super volcanoes to devastating earthquakes
What
are the safest regions to survive massive cataclysmic disasters?
Deep
enough inland and high enough up to counter things like flooding and
tropical cyclones that affect the West Coast. The cascades are loaded with
resources for survival like water, food, and wood. They are a beautiful
backdrop to deal with the post-apocalyptic world and far enough
away from southern California to inherit any of that mess.
The
northernmost portions of the Cascades are even located in the American
Redoubt, which we will discuss later in this article.
Another
range of mountains that offer similar benefits as the Cascades. This east
coast mountain range covers several states, has plenty of food, water,
shelter, and game animals. Covering the land by food would not be easy but
the seclusion from the chaos would be well worth it.
Because
of elevation and distance from the coast there are almost no threats of
flood, tsunami, or hurricane in this region. There is little seismic
activity in the area.
West
of some particularly important and sizeable cities, the Blue Ridge
mountains could become a safe haven for millions of people in the very
worst case scenario. That is the only weakness of this location.
Further
west still, on the other side of the blue ridge mountains in the region of
Appalachia which runs from New York to Mississippi. This is another great
region to consider because of its sparse population compared to the coasts.
Its quick access to the Blue Ridge Mountains and safety from most major
disasters.
Prepper Strongholds
Are
you looking for even more benefits? Maybe you want the people and the safe
places. There is nothing wrong with that. Around the nation there are
several places that have not only been deemed safe and pleasant but are
also filled with preppers!
Yup!
The self-reliant and independent have taken up refuge in a few spots across
the nation. They are often looking for more friends like them to build
their prepper community. These areas are not just filled with preppers but
are in rural areas where other people are as self sufficient as
the prepper community.
In
2011 James Wesley Rawles proposed Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming as the
American Redoubt. The Redoubt also encompasses the eastern parts of
Washington and Oregon. It is unclear how many people have moved to the
American Redoubt with the intent of stockpiling, prepping, or homesteading
for the long haul.
However,
there is a small community of voices from Rawles, to John Jacob Schmitt, to
the American Christian Network, that will align with much of what you
believe. It has been estimated that thousands of people have moved to these
areas as a safe haven from the growing turmoil of our world.
Because
of its low population density and impressive access to resources, as
well as low threat profile, as long as you can stay warm in the winter, the
Redoubt has some tremendous benefits. You will also have plenty of wide
open space so if you don’t align with everything Rawles proposed you can do
your own thing and be just fine!
The
Ozarks are more of a plateau than a mountain range with some of its tallest
peaks between 1-2000 feet tall. Because of its location in the nation and
its elevation, it has a tremendous amount of benefits to the average
prepper looking for a safe zone.
The
Ozarks are not affected by things like floods because of the elevation, it
has this elevation without snow because it is in the south. It does not
face any kind of earthquake threat, hurricane, or forest fire. There is a
long growing season that features lots of rain.
Pastor
Joe Fox of Viking Preparedness has been expanding his Shofar mountain and
influencing preppers for many years to make their way to the Ozarks. COOHMP
or Come Out of Her, My People as taken from the book of Revelation. A
growing prepper stronghold has taken root in the Ozarks making it a
wonderful place to move and a very safe region.
Also,
those who are not preppers in the Ozarks are looking to do their own things
and basically be left alone. So, it is a sentiment we can all understand!
We
live in a MASSIVE nation full of all kinds of opportunity. There are areas
that are incredibly dangerous, but the reality is we have a lot of wide
open spaces that can be whatever you want them to be!
Did
you know there are even some places that will give you free land or pay you
to live there! If you aren’t tethered to a location than you can take
advantage of the areas, we mentioned. However, you should arrive there and
become a part of the community. This is particularly important. You can
never know the full potential of any area unless you integrate and become a
member of the community.
Go
forth and choose your destiny!

Who'd ever want to live in Chicago? Crime and dem-gang filled crap hole
Many of us have said for decades the goal of the communist left in America has been to destroy America-we need to eliminate these cockroaches by whateverever means possible - defend our nation now!
There are no safe zones-Big Brother is all seing & citizens are screwed.
