I often wonder how the various governments would deal with the inevitable pre and post-TDM refugee/evacuee problem.

I'm sure you've thought of this before, but I'd wager that many Tucsonans would flee the city due to fears that Davis-Monthan AFB and nearby Fort Huachuca are on the Soviet's target lists. Phoenix would also experience some level of "panic" due to Luke AFB. There's also a really big nuclear power plant here somewhere (I'm not sure where it is).

I'd wager that people with the wherewithawl would pull up stakes and go someplace perceived while those without the resources to do so would probably stay put and hope for the best.
