Alot of that comes down to fights between towns over resources like bullets.

I would limited a vehicle to one tank of gas, depending on the type of vehicle. Dieasal.

Diesel is better because it is really not picky on what you put inside the tank.

Yeah.

I want to be able to get resources from the towns that have no one alive.

In the US ethanol is actually a good choice because we tend to have alot of corn.

If any survives, I might take them in if they are useful.

Depending on if I got enough food to feed them.

Gasoline is strictly better if you can get a supply though (like you're on the coast and the oil suppiles survive)

I will be using pumps connected to solar panels.

I'd avoid getting too complicated.

operations will be done in the day.

Everything shuts off during night to conserve on electricity and fuel.

Right now I am just focusing on building and gathering.

Getting the community together.

Then I will lay down the ground work for rules and conserving.

But there will be a operation going on while it is happening.

Removing the top soil in the surrounding area.

Scrubbing down the houses and stuff.

I have the perspective of a city dweller, I know LA gonna go mad max real quick in a disaster

Basically removing any radiation from the area.

Enjoy cancer

My concerns would be:

Long-term Food supplies (read: farming)
Long-term water supplies (read: rivers, lakes or groundwater)
Community defense (read: guns and ammunition)
Community coordination (read: electricity and radio)
Establishing relationships and resources for other things. Like producing the above.

Actually those who are tasked with that will be wearing radiation suits.

If the cities got hit, I'd probably be running somewhere. Either the armed services or to the Midwest depending on the situation.

One of my first things I will do, is establish homestead in a abandon military base, compound, or bunker.

....radiation suits is hard to get and radioactive particle can be finicky

Military does have a habit of abandoning stuff when withdrawing fast.

Vehicles, weapons, computers, etc, etc...

That's kinda ideal, but I'm not sure you could be assured you'd find something like that. And alot of those places aren't really suitable anyways from what I've seen.

The military will usually center around command.

Your best bet is the rain will wipe away most of the radiation

Yes, but there would be a reason they would run.

Where I live, there is a nuclear bunker, military base, and compounds.

And desertion would probably be high, with alot of deserters hoarding military supplies.

Not to mention there is power plant nearby that could be restored if needed.

It depends on the situation

I wouldn't count too much on power plants.

Stillwater will not be hit, because it isn't important in sense. Most nuclear missile bases will be, but the rest of the areas will be abandon and not hit probably.

The military have plans for nuclear disaster and trained accordingly for 60 years

We will mostly suffer nuclear fallout to be honest.
