The Post-Apocalyptic Roadmap/Oregon

Part of the Post-Apocalyptic Roadmap Project.

Overview

Post-Apocalyptic Oregon will remain mostly untouched. Two bombs will land, one in Portland and the other in Salem, destroying the only two largely populated areas. The fallout won't reach of the eastern deserts and the miles of untouched forests will be safe for the survival-prepared to restart lives anew.

Portland

The Portland bomb drops north of the city, and while the epicenter is nowhere near the main city, it kills a lot of people outright, and scorches flat north Portland. The people that survive scrounge the southern parts of the city, or flee farther south into unaffected Oregon state proper.

With More Zombies

Many small towns will be drowned in waves of radioactive, mutant zombies, humans who's brains have partially died and who's bodies are covered in sores and tumors (they migrated from other surrounding states, but mostly Portland). Other towns fortify like crazy and set up farms, and life goes on like normal. Expatriates from Portland bring engineers and scientists to Newport, Roseberg, Florence, Bend, and Cannon Beach, creating ramshackle havens for the wanderers of the desert wasteland.

Oh, and did I forget to mention that Mad Max 5 plays out all over Oregon's eastern desert? Except with cows this time.
