Cool thread OP, can really get people to thinking if it stays realistic, and I think JohnW was spot on with one of the comments he made: Intel is crucial at this point to make good decisions.
Now to throw a monkey at the wrench.
The Good-Most of your group has stuck to the plan and made it back home and are starting to put the other critical tasks into motion, while doing this you notice some first responder folks just up the road from you that have stopped to clear debris left by looters so they can get their vehicles thru and you quickly run over to get a sit rep and this is what they give you:
Nuke plant back-up generators have suffered catastrophic failure and power is still out. Reactor coolant is starting to rise.
Weather has started to shift wind directions bringing in potential rain storms further increasing the potential to turn airborne contamination into ground contamination and potentially effecting ground water supplies.
Emergency services are starting to be overwhelmed.
Chemical plant north of you location has suffered structural damage and is on fire. Fire department is on site but having a hard time contaning the fire.
Your wife has not made it home but was able to get ahold of you via secondary comms (insert your favorite choice for that here) and has advised you that she is approx. 6 miles away but her car has been disabled from trying to avoid someone almost hitting her in the process of getting home.
The chemical fire is directly between you and her.
Oh..........almost forgot, the looters stole you entire supply of TP.
