There's no single "safest" place, but the best strategy is distance from targets (like military bases or cities) and finding immediate, deep shelter underground or in the center of large concrete buildings to block radioactive fallout, then staying put for days as radiation decays rapidly, according to FEMA, HHS, ICRP, and Ready.gov. Key principles: Go deep (basement/subway), stay central (away from walls/roof), stay put (24+ hours), and have supplies. 

What did Einstein warn about the atomic bomb?

Since I do not foresee that atomic energy is to be a great boon for a long time, I have to say that for the present it is a menace. Perhaps it is well that it should be.
