Good question, every location has something. How many more years till you've paid off shutting down Shoreham the way you did? Of course the chance of hitting heavy traffic trying to get off the island is almost guaranteed where a nuclear incident is extremely rare.
What about when catastrophic contagion spreads across the mainland, and the only safe place to be is over a body of water? Such as Long Island, Manhattan Island, or Staten Island.

I will place that in the Zombie Apocalypse category, of course with almost no natural resources the potential for a Donner Pass type event is pretty high. The thought of Staten Island being the last bastion of humanity, that's scary...

In that Will Smith movie the last safe haven left was Vermont. I socialist dream, to be able to hoard limited resources for a select population.

That's absurd both as a premise and even in the suggested outcome given an absurd premise. These islands aren't that isolated from the mainland, plus some of the most likely vectors would be coming in via airports such as the ones on Long Island. The worst part would be that you're SOL if it's something where you hit a traffic jam trying to get out of an outbreak zone--at least on the mainland you can fan out in many directions with a lot of different ways to travel.

We'd have to go into strict lockdown. Bridges and tunnels would need to be blown up, and airports quarantined. Mexico and Canada would be more vulnerable then Long Island.
Yes, Mt Vernon and Yonkers are probably the worst two areas in Westchester county. I can't think of any others as bad as those two.
(Sorry I can't just say Westchester, I must always add "county" after Westchester because that's the way I first learned to say it. I also used to refer to it as "upstate" because that is how I initially learned to refer to it, lol).
We'll have no guns. The people. I'm banking on it becoming near impossible to legally acquire or own a gun in NY before the end of King Cuomo's reign.
Should we incurr any "event", zombies or otherwise, we will need to defend ourselves wth frying pans and broomstiicks or depend on the drug dealers and other bad guys to protect us.
