I'm unfamiliar with the FEMA plan, but when I was working on the SIOP, the assumption was that the Soviets were targeting strategic-war bases and attack-detection capabilities in the first strike. With the budget cutbacks since then, it looked on a quick glance like the only base currently capable of deploying nuclear weapons in Alaska is Elmendorf; a couple of large nukes would take care of both bases, and destroy the city of Anchorage as a bonus. (We assumed the only population centers targeted just for being population centers were New York and the LA basin; every other target was selected for its military or governmental importance. The aim, after all, was supposed to be to destroy our ability to resist the "inevitable" expansion of the Soviet Union, and wiping out cities unnecessarily wouldn't accomplish that goal.)
