  Recent work has identified cosmic ray events as an error source limiting the
lifetime of quantum data. These errors are correlated and affect a large number
of qubits, leading to the loss of data across a quantum chip. Previous works
attempting to address the problem in hardware or by building distributed
systems still have limitations. We approach the problem from a different
perspective, developing a new hybrid hardware-software-based strategy based on
the 2-D surface code, assuming the parallel development of a hardware strategy
that limits the phonon propagation radius. We propose to flee the area: move
the logical qubits far enough away from the strike's epicenter to maintain our
logical information. Specifically, we: (1) establish the minimum hardware
requirements needed for our approach; (2) propose a mapping for moving logical
qubits; and (3) evaluate the possible choice of the code distance. Our analysis
considers two possible cosmic ray events: those far from both ``holes'' in the
surface code and those near or overlapping a hole. We show that the probability
that the logical qubit will be destroyed can be reduced from 100% to the range
4% to 15% depending on the time required to move the logical qubit.
