In the unlikely event of a doomsday catastrophe, it’s good to be prepared and know where the best places in Oklahoma are to bunker down. Whether you need to be in the city for a surplus of supplies, on high ground in no man’s land or near water, here are 11 cities to consider in the event of a doomsday:
Home to historic Fort Reno, El Reno is full of old bunkers and military forts. You could create a little mini city in Fort Reno and build a fortress around it.
Listed as the number one place to go off the grid by Off-grid.net — Red Oak is small town of about 500 residents in southeastern Oklahoma. The very reasonable land prices - some for less than $1000 per acre - was the number one reason, followed by its far proximity from a major city.

On the nuclear target map there are no target locations near Guymon in the Oklahoma Panhandle. It's also a less populated area so you don't have to fight with the masses over supplies. The area is also strong in agriculture and ranching, so you could be self-sufficient.
Lawton is close to Ft. Sill and The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. If you escape to the mountains you could easily go unnoticed. Or if you needed protection or military equipment, head to Fort Still (if you can get passed the guards).
