Given only the two choices, my first inclination would be to head to the hills as well, particularly given the "no firearms" and "no pets" restrictions of the public shelters. However, in my neck of the woods there are going to be hundreds of thousands of people spreading out into the mountains. Add to that the very real possibility that you or a loved one is going to be in need of medical attention far beyond the capabilities of your average FAK. I guess I am going to play it by ear and make my decisions based upon how the situation is playing out. Staying put is always going to be my first choice.
