In the event of a nuclear war, ever wonder where you’d be and what your chances of survival would be?"

Well, a map showing the impact of a nuclear war on the U.S. also highlights the areas least likely to be affected, The Express in the U.K. has reported.

According to NUKEMAP, those who reside in western Texas, most of Nevada, Michigan, and Wisconsin would be “notably in the clear,” Mira Safety reported, who analyzed the data.

“With that said, the latter two would likely become uninhabitable in the coming nuclear winter,” they added.

Of course, New York, the nation’s most densely populated metropolitan area, would likely be a primary target in any conflict scenario.

Due to the massive concentration of residents, a nuclear strike on the city would be devastating, endangering millions.

The map also shows the US cities most at risk during a nuclear attack, according to compiled data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), exposing civilian, military, and infrastructure targets.

The few areas of the map not covered in blue, yellow, and red are safer.

For those who are wondering about proximity when it comes to such an event, according to the Red Cross, even if the attack did not strike your immediate area, you would likely need to shelter in place for at least 24 hours unless told otherwise by authorities.

In even some cases, you might need to shelter in place for as long as one month.
