Hi Ferfal,
I've been a follower of your blog since
2009 (i think). I am getting concerned about ISIS, with their threat to
Americans. I am in New Mexico on the border of Juarez/Las Cruces. I plan
to get my five kids passports next week and regardless of ISIS, I'd
like to make preparations to relocate if needed. Is China a good place
to go? Seems like noone is bothering them....where is a safe place to
relocate right now? Seems like things are changing all the time in all
the different nations. It's hard to know where would be safe should
things go south quickly...your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. if
you decide to post this on your blog, Will you shoot me back an email
and let me know when you do? thanks so much!

Hello Michelle,
First of all, it’s a great
idea to get passports for everyone. People often forget about them, but they
are one of the most important tools to have. Even if you’re not planning on
moving or traveling, you should have a passport. If there’s ever an emergency
and you are forced to move or evacuate abroad, a passport can make all the difference
in the world. People wont have enough time to get one in short notice during a
wide spread disaster.
About your concerns
regarding problems along the border I suggest taking a good look within your
State. Moving to a safer location with New Mexico seems like the best option. If
you want more of a change you may look at moving to some other State based on your
personal circumstances and what’s important to you. These are the kind of
topics that I’ve addressed in “Bugging Out and Relocation”, where I include
charts and data for each State so as to see what works best for you . Personal
circumstances will dictate to a great extent what works best for each individual
or family group. A retired couple may worry more about cost of living and
healthcare, while a family with young kids will be concerned more about
education, cost of living and safety.
Regarding terrorist threats,
I understand it is a concern but I don’t think that the possibility of terrorist
attacks alone should be enough to move out of the country. Terrorist attacks
sure have happened before in USA and I believe they will continue, but rather than
moving abroad because of it, it should be enough to avoid the main and better
known metropolis and capital cities, which are likely to get hit in the first
place. Not living in a massive and well known landmark city should be enough to
significantly reduce the risk of terror threats.

I think ISIS is a publicity stunt.
Remember when Saddamm was throwing babies out of incuabtors and there was no video. They have learned from that that now they must have blood.
If for a good reason one decides to relocate, keep in mind that, since the US are a central economy, when it gets bad here, the rest of the world will be mostly in a zombie apocalypse. Sure, some islands of peace will remain, just like in America itself, but unlikely in countries with a history of conflicts. People don't hear much about China, but violent protests take place often in peripheral cities and news are suppressed by the Party, though a few escape the censors claws to the Internet. Additionally, a country with a tradition of xenophobia and with such a different culture and language from one's own is a sure recipe for a miserable life.
