In order to determine which cities in the U.S. and Colorado would be most prepared for a zombie apocalypse, Lawnlove prioritized the following:

At the end of all times, you'll want to be in a city that checks all of the above boxes or at least have a plan to get to a place that can meet those survival needs.
