Staying home would seem the most ideal situation if you could. Home has more stuff than you could pack in your car, is better insulated, and cooking would be easier, no matter how you managed to do it. If you have a house & yard, getting into the habit of planting a vegetable garden would seem to be a good idea. You might luck out and have the trouble when you have crops coming in. (Or not <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />) If you know your neighbors, you would have more manpower, more knowledge, and more protection if things got really bad.

If you live in an apartment and it's stable, most of the above still holds true. If it isn't stable, I would get a group of neighbors together and form a camp in the closest park or vacant lot.

It seems to me that bugging out is the least desirable decision, but you have to keep it in mind in case of fire, toxic leaks, etc.
