Disaster strikes and you and/or your family become refugees.

What do you take, where do you go and with whom?

Imagine the most likely scenario in your region/location that would force you to have to suddenly flee, what might that be and what would the long term ramification be for you?

Texas. It could really use an influx of 6 millions french speaking people.

Iowa.  I'm sure Yi would take me in.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Plenty of room.

But the only local event that could plausibly turn me into a refugee is a civil war, and Iowa wouldn't be any better than Missourah.  Well, maybe not quite as bad.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I take nothing other than essentials.

I of course take my wife and kids.

I flee to Manitoba.

Phone, book of passwords and ID. I take my family of course and we flee to our relatives in Scotland; if Scotland is totally buggered too then it would have to be Canada (again relatives).

Legbiter

Norway.

If Europe and North America is totally fucked then Japan.

Switzerland, though less than ideal, is pretty open to me.

Assuming Europe is off limits it probably would have to be canada.

Seeing as the most likely scenario would be a Russian attack before we join Nato I'd go to Denmark. If Nato is involved I guess I'll go to Spain, if they get that far I might as well start studying Russian.

Most displaced people are internally displaced so probably the far North of Scotland, if out of the country then Ireland (both family and friends).
Let's bomb Russia!
