In case of any disaster from zombies to massive power outages, I ask /zom/ its thoughts on meeting up at a designated area solely for any fellow survivor here.

Mojave is pretty good.
Harsh climate with not a whole lot of people.
Secure a certain Dam, obtain power.
Literal and figurative.

A dam would actually be a really good spot to hold out. Only two real entrances you need to throw a fence up on and you're golden, assuming you've brought supplies. Also electricity, assuming you can get the thing working. Even if it's offline, it'd be easier to get working again than most other power generators, and you'd only really need a small bit to get working for your own power needs.

Good idea, 9/10 would head there to help out

It's a good initial location but the real problem comes when every other survivor location within distribution range comes looking for their chunk of power. You'd be foolish to think they'd all play fair or cater to your demands.

>Even if it's offline, it'd be easier to get working again than most other power generators
Wrong, so wrong. Really, any of these sort of locations are safe as long as you don't touch shit unless such touching is under the control of someone suitably qualified to do so.

Well at least the french are too preoccupied sucking each other off to have anything to do with zombies.

Not really, take a gander at this:
http://www.nettedautomation.com/news/n_78.html

Basically everything in that is a bit of information you need to monitor and understand to ensure one of your turbines doesn't catastrophically explode, which generally leads to other turbines being damaged and the power house being flooded (which renders /everything/ useless) - and that doesn't even cover the knowledge required to clean and maintain the turbines themselves, or the operation of the reservoir itself (debris buildup and flooding are two major issues).

It's also likely there will already be a military unit and engineers stationed in a hydroelectric dam; the military will need the power to keep their bases running (even if they have their own generators it'll still be more limited in fuel than a hydroelectric dam, wind farm, or solar farm), keep civilian routes of communications open, and make taking back zombie-infested cities (if possible) easier if operations can run 24/7 rather than whenever the sun is up.

You'll probably be able to find refuge in that situation, but at the same time the Law of Zombie Outbreak pretty much demands such a situation means an overwhelming horde of zombies will be knocking at the doorstep at any moment.
