Here and here are some government resources that can help you plan for real disasters in our state. Below is a silly guide of the best hidden places in Pennsylvania to go in the unlikely event of a zombie apocalypse.

Cons: Good luck getting inside.

Pros: You could definitely keep the zombies out if you were locked inside one of the bunkers.
Cons: You might not be able to get into the bunkers because most are locked, or the doors are broken. Also, the space inside is pretty small, so you'd run the risk of running out of supplies or getting really sick of your co-refugees.

Pros: Islands are a pretty good bet, and it would be well-stocked because the island has residents.
Cons: There are people living there, so chances are one of them would be infected and threaten your security.

Pros: If you bring enough supplies with you, you could sustain yourself on the roof for a pretty long time.
Cons: It might be hard to prevent entry to the roof of the building... And you're still in the city, so being overtaken seems inevitable.

Pros: It's an excellent vantage point and it's in a pretty remote area, so it would take the zombies a long time to arrive... And you could see them coming.
Cons: There might not be many places to take cover.

Pros: Amazing vantage point. Slippery, non-grip glass windows wouldn't allow for any zombies to climb the outside of the building.
Cons: You're in the biggest city in Pennsylvania.

Pros: If the zombies didn't find you, you'd be able to simply wait out the attack. The cave is also located in a pretty remote part of central Pennsylvania, so it would take awhile before the zombies converged there.
Con: You wouldn't be able to see what was going on, or to know when it was over. You'd have to find an incredibly effective way of blocking off the entrance to the cave... And even then, if the zombies found you, you'd have nowhere to escape.
