Best Answer
Just to confirm that CuriousOne is correct as regards direct radiation damage to your body.
From Solar Flares
As an example of this, you could read Quebec Blackout and as we become more reliant on satellites, we spend a lot of effort hardening their electronic components against radiation. We also try to predict Solar weather, so we can turn things off before the flare affects us.
However, taking into account what I have learned from @RobJefferies comments below, your best chance of minimising indirect effects are, as you say in your post, near the equator.
