Default Parowan midair?

I've flown Parowan on several occasions and if I were in that

the plane was stable in flight I would go to the longest runway at
which I knew there would be people to help. That would be Parowan. IMO
following rules would not be the most important objective. The goal
would be survival.

If runway size is important, Cedar City ( 8600' x 150') is only 16 NM
past Parowan (a mere 5000' x 75'), lots of people, and lots closer to
the hospital.
