The best place to be is home. In an emergency situation, your own government (the one you hold the citizenship for and have cultural ties with) is the one you can rely on. Non-citizen residents will get shafted. Any country that is too foreign will be hard to navigate (I mean navigate the bureaucracy) in an emergency situation. And also consider, as a foreigner your ties with the locals are going to be weak so you will need to fend for yourself.

I mean, as an EU citizen who has lived in multiple EU countries, this is also true today when everything is smooth sailing.

In any emergency situation it won't take long for anti-foreign sentiments to become a cause for concern.
