I put this visualization together over the past couple weeks. I have a more detailed description of the motivation and datasets, and methods used here: https://bpodgursky.com/2019/07/25/bunker-land-the-best-and-w..., but the brief version is:

Tools:

- QGIS for buffers and shading

- Mapbox + Mapbox GL JS to combine layers

Data

Let me know if you want any more details.

Very interesting. Living on Honolulu seems to be one of the worst places of all. (with all options toggled)

Worst as in quick painless death, or worst as in surviving and having to fight bands of post apocalyptic raiders for dwindling supplies?
