If nuclear war broke out where's the safest place on Earth?

Nuclear tensions appear to be mounting again amidst political upheaval. So if the event of nuclear war, where should you head?

The recent death of Fidel Castro - a man synonymous with the threat of nuclear war and the Cuban Missile Crisis - has reminded us how much the world has changed since the end of the Cold War.

We are safer now than perhaps any time in our history. Let's take the cheery topic of violent death, for example. In most of the world, murder rates are falling along with other violent crimes. A recent UN study reported that homicide rates in North America, Europe and Asia have been declining for last 15 years, and wars have also become less deadly when compared to conflicts in the 20th century. Even contemporary atrocities in the Middle East do not compare to the industrial genocide of Stalin, Mao, or Hitler. Research by the Early Warning Project for example, has shown a clear decline in mass killings in wars and conflicts since 1992.
