First of all, you should have an emergency kit in your house. This includes things like water, food, and other supplies to get you through the first couple of days before you can locate a zombie-free refugee camp (or in the event of a <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/website?sl=en&amp;tl=el&amp;nui=1&amp;prev=search&amp;u=http:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/disasters\/\">natural disaster<\/a>, it will buy you some time until you are able to make your way to an evacuation shelter or utility lines are restored). Below are a few items you should include in your kit, for a full list visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/website?sl=en&amp;tl=el&amp;nui=1&amp;prev=search&amp;u=http:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/preparedness\/kit\/disasters\/\">CDC Emergency page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Water <\/strong>(1 gallon per person per day)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Food <\/strong>(stock up on non-perishable items that you eat regularly)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medications <\/strong>(this includes prescription and non-prescription meds)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tools and Supplies <\/strong>(utility knife, duct tape, battery powered radio, etc.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sanitation and Hygiene<\/strong> (household bleach, soap, towels, etc.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clothing and Bedding <\/strong>(a change of clothes for each family member and blankets)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Important documents<\/strong> (copies of your driver\u2019s license, passport, and birth certificate to name a few)<\/li>\n<li><strong>First Aid supplies <\/strong>(although you\u2019re a goner if a zombie bites you, you can use these supplies to treat basic cuts and lacerations that you might get during a <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/website?sl=en&amp;tl=el&amp;nui=1&amp;prev=search&amp;u=http:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/disasters\/tornadoes\/\">tornado <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/website?sl=en&amp;tl=el&amp;nui=1&amp;prev=search&amp;u=http:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/disasters\/hurricanes\/\">hurricane<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve made your emergency kit, you should sit down with your family and come up with an <strong>emergency plan<\/strong>. This includes where you would go and who you would call if zombies started appearing outside your door step. You can also implement this plan if there is a flood, earthquake, or other emergency.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1924\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1924\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1924\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ol>\n<li>Identify the types of emergencies that are possible in your area. Besides a zombie apocalypse, this may include floods, tornadoes, or earthquakes. If you are unsure contact your local Red Cross chapter for more information.<\/li>\n<li>Pick a meeting place for your family to regroup in case zombies invade your home\u2026or your town evacuates because of a hurricane. Pick one place right outside your home for sudden emergencies and one place outside of your neighborhood in case you are unable to return home right away.<\/li>\n<li>Identify your emergency contacts. Make a list of local contacts like the police, fire department, and your local zombie response team. Also identify an out-of-state contact that you can call during an emergency to let the rest of your family know you are ok.<\/li>\n<li>Plan your evacuation route. When zombies are hungry they won\u2019t stop until they get food (i.e., brains), which means you need to get out of town fast! Plan where you would go and multiple routes you would take ahead of time so that the flesh eaters don\u2019t have a chance! This is also helpful when natural disasters strike and you have to take shelter fast.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Never Fear \u2013 CDC is Ready<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states, or international partners dealing with a zombie infestation. This assistance might include consultation, lab testing and analysis, patient management and care, tracking of contacts, and infection control (including <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/website?sl=en&amp;tl=el&amp;nui=1&amp;prev=search&amp;u=http:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/preparedness\/quarantine\/\">isolation and quarantine<\/a>). It\u2019s likely that an investigation of this scenario would seek to accomplish several goals: determine the cause of the illness, the source of the infection\/virus\/toxin, learn how it is transmitted and how readily it is spread, how to break the cycle of transmission and thus prevent further cases, and how patients can best be treated. Not only would scientists be working to identify the cause and cure of the zombie outbreak, but CDC and other federal agencies would send medical teams and first responders to help those in affected areas (I will be volunteering the young nameless disease detectives for the field work).<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about what CDC does to prepare for and respond to emergencies of all kinds, visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/website?sl=en&amp;tl=el&amp;nui=1&amp;prev=search&amp;u=http:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/cdc\/orgs_progs.asp\">http:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/cdc\/orgs_progs.asp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To learn more about how you can prepare for and stay safe during an emergency visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/website?sl=en&amp;tl=el&amp;nui=1&amp;prev=search&amp;u=http:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/\">http:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comments\" class=\"comments-area\">\n<div class=\"module-typeA\">\n<div id=\"comment-4382\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-4382\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<div class=\"comment-content\"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-4755\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-4755\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>No need for a gun or bat to \u201cmake your escape\u201d.<br \/>\nEscape to where?<br \/>\nWe are all going to die anyway.<br \/>\nMay as well go out happy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-4786\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-4786\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">tom<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-4786\"><time datetime=\"2011-06-16T21:13:42-05:00\">June 16, 2011 at 9:13 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Millions of Americans are Zombies already, taking meds that are not needed.<br \/>\nWake up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-4787\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-4787\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Tom<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-4787\"><time datetime=\"2011-06-17T01:06:58-05:00\">June 17, 2011 at 1:06 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>When there is no more room in hell, the dead shell walk the earth.

I know many people walk around care free thinking nothing can happen and everything will be provided by the government, well we seen how that worked out after a few hurricanes.<\/p>\n<p>Having worked in law enforcement for over 16 years I can tell you most people are not prepared for even a small disaster and rely on the police and fire to take care of everything.<\/p>\n<p>Each citizen should take a little self responsibility and put a kit together with all the items listed by the CDC and Ready.gov. That way if a family should have to shelter in place until help arrives they can be prepared and sustain some safety and health and not tax the system should help be slow to get there.<\/p>\n<p>Zombies are a good example to get everyone prepared for a disaster, it makes the idea of being prepared fun and get your entire family involved. I applaud the CDC for using this idea to get American\u2019s prepared should a disaster befall their community. Thanks CDC for a wonderful way to get people ready for any emergency.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure there were several critics that did not like the idea that voiced their opinion on this forum.

If you are the Alpha male of your house hold, then most likely you have shielded them, provided for them, and protected them their whole lives. Its time to teach them to protect and provide for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>You are going to have a horrible job of holding society together and preventing anarchy, the least that you can do for yourself is make sure you KNOW that your family is going to be OK, so you can focus on your job and your responsibilities to the greater good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-5828\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-5828\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">james<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-5828\"><time datetime=\"2011-07-30T13:45:26-05:00\">July 30, 2011 at 1:45 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>i say, bring em, this country is in a ressesition and zompoc would be the perfect thing to 1: population controll(survival of the prepared) 2: open up ALOT of job opprotunities after the outbreak and 3: zompoc would be a hell of alot more fun than sitting around at a 9-5 job or online doing job apps for jobs that dont exist by the time they are seen anyway<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-5848\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-5848\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Hannah Brown<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-5848\"><time datetime=\"2011-08-01T13:01:47-05:00\">August 1, 2011 at 1:01 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Love this so much!!!

I agree with the saferooms, preferably having air vents, plants, heavy doors and no windows. However, there needs to be a service that allows areas to coordinate saferooms so that there is always a saferoom within a 2-3 hour walking distance of another saferoom. Also, large, strategic bridges should be destroyed and ferries be offered in place so that zombies would be better isolated to land masses. That\u2019s just my 2 cents though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-5897\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-5897\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Zimmer Frankfurt<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-5897\"><time datetime=\"2011-08-04T03:20:20-05:00\">August 4, 2011 at 3:20 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Thanks for sharing valuable information about master<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-5910\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-5910\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">James N.<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-5910\"><time datetime=\"2011-08-04T21:06:42-05:00\">August 4, 2011 at 9:06 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Wow, 372 posts!

BRAVO to the CDC for making disaster preparedness relevant to those who might never really \u201cget\u201d the urgent need to always be prepared for a natural or (worse) man-made disaster that lasts longer than a few hours. The closest thing I came to a \u201cdisaster\u201d was when the power went out (and stayed out) for over 5 1\/2 days in Cincinnati in early 2008 due to unexpectedly and extremely high winds (thank you Hurricane Ike). I was woefully unprepared, and so were all of the businesses, urgent cares and everything else in my area; the local hospitals\u2019 power didn\u2019t return until over 3 days afterward.<\/p>\n<p>I never made that mistake again, and have quite the emergency preparedness kit, though it does lack a few things mentioned in the article (thx, CDC!), esp. re: the pet essentials. Couching your info in a \u201czombie apocalypse\u201d scenario only makes it that much more fun (and relevant) to me. I\u2019m not a lazy teen or millennial slacker or paranoid gamer-basement dweller \u2013 I\u2019m a middle-aged attorney in a law enforcement agency (and my supervisors were the ones who sent me the link to this!). In fact, we might be putting it in our next \u201chealth and safety\u201d e-newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>Put it this way \u2013 no one ever died from too much good information! When the zombies are at your door, you\u2019ll wish you\u2019d paid more attention to this and less to American-friggin\u2019-Idol! And don\u2019t forget \u2013 Cardio, cardio, cardio (w\/the occasional double-tap!).<\/p>\n<p>Keep up the fabulous work, CDC!!

Way to make emergency preparedness fun AND relevant to a population that likely would not think about such an important thing (me being one of them, and I\u2019m a veteran and an attorney for a law enforcement agency!). As a species humans tend to be a \u201creactive,\u201d rather than \u201cproactive,\u201d bunch. Therefore, they are often caught unawares when a disaster (natural or worse, man-made) strikes.<\/p>\n<p>I was in Cincinnati, OH in 2008 when the winds from Hurricane Ike knocked out power for hundreds of square miles; in my case, over 5 1\/2 days, and I wasn\u2019t rural, I was in a heavily populated suburb of downtown. EVERYONE, businesses, hospitals, fire\/police stations and myself, were caught completely off-guard. It doesn\u2019t sound like a long time, but it truly feels like forever when you can\u2019t get even the most basic of essentials, like water and canned food, b\/c all the businesses were shuttered until at least 3 days into the outage (obviously, the hospitals and emergency stations were 1st priority, then businesses, then everyone else). You couldn\u2019t drive the roads for the first 2 days at least (sparking wires and downed branches were littering the streets). Needless to say, the traffic llights didn\u2019t work, so you were really taking your life in your hands to venture out in a vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>It definitely scared me into awareness of how important it is to have the basics on hand, and in mass quantities, b\/c you never know just how long you\u2019ll be w\/o the basics, like electric power. We take so much for granted. And zombies (my favorite horror monster) are a potent reminder of the effects of societal breakdown \u2013 replace zombie w\/\u201dterrorist\u201d and hopefully, you get my point. What if you can\u2019t get thru to 911? What if law and order completely collapsed? What if those societal buttresses were suddenly (maybe permanently?) yanked out from under you? Obviously, the CDC can only do its\u2019 particular function in all this, but you see where I\u2019m going. You MUST be prepared for something like this, b\/c there\u2019s very little to stop it from happening.<\/p>\n<p>So thank you, CDC, you did a marvelous job of shocking the conscience of quite a few people, myself included. Keep up the fabulous work.<\/p>\n<p>PS \u2013 Never forget to double-tap!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-6117\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-6117\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">pristiq for anxiety<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-6117\"><time datetime=\"2011-08-14T00:03:18-05:00\">August 14, 2011 at 12:03 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Great article with very interesting information.

We have the capabilities of reanimating the dead and the CDC is the ones with the crap to do so\u2026. all of this could be a hoax but they actually have had reports of zombies in haiti from about 35 years ago. The people were dead and they were reanimated and walking around. They were not the stereotypical zombie that we see in the movies but they were documented as zombies.

I thought this to be a very creative way to use our tax dollars to alert people on how to prepare for a disaster or emergency. Also how the CDC works to combat these situations. Sure they may be using one of the biggest hypes in media right now, but regardless it gets the message out. The person who wrote it was already getting paid for what they do and they did a fine job if their aim was to get a message across about real situations using a popular (false for now) one.

You think its funny. But have you heard of anyone getting sick for months straight? Thinking your over it but its not gone at all its just slowly going to get worse and you don\u2019t know it. That is why humans are getting so violent more because they get angry over something so small you will kill the other person, not really biting them or anything but find something else to use. I believe that the zombies will be the devils creation to wipe out the rest of human race that worship him. That is just my theory\/opinion. I don\u2019t know what will happen when the world ends but I do know that I have so many friends who have horrible zombie dreams that seem so realistic and a lot of them have the same dreams together. I say be prepared for whatever, may never know what will happen or how it will happen.

It\u2019s about preparing for ANY emergency, fictional or not. This article seems to appeal to the younger generation and it shows them to prepare for anything, even if it is a zombie apocalypse. Imagine now how many people have accessed this article and read this? To some of our younger generation people, this could encourage us to have an Emergency kit, just because we would be ready for a zombie take over. Despite the fact that they made it to prepare for a zombie apocalypse, they\u2019d still have an emergency kit right?

If you do have to bug out, get away from populated ares as far as you can. Second if you are in a good defendable location stay there and dig in for as long as you can.

Or will they be humans with sickly skin and just cannibalistic,humans being able to spot hidden doors in the floor and work out problems? stuff like that..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-11182\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-11182\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Caretaker<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-11182\"><time datetime=\"2011-11-11T12:37:13-05:00\">November 11, 2011 at 12:37 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Im pretty sure everyone is enthused about a zombie apocalypse.-enough said<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-11187\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-11187\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">lewis<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-11187\"><time datetime=\"2011-11-11T14:33:29-05:00\">November 11, 2011 at 2:33 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>it\u2019s about time someone said something about it everyone think i\u2019m crazy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-11257\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-11257\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Ipawnz.com<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-11257\"><time datetime=\"2011-11-12T13:24:35-05:00\">November 12, 2011 at 1:24 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Really?

First of all people need to be properly trained to use weapons or else they will kill friends and family members by mistake. Second of all possessing weapons could cause National Guards men to mistake you for a looter and get yourself shot. It\u2019s better to just let the looters loot your house and wait until the National Guard arrives. If looters get what they want, they won\u2019t harm you. Plus you can always replace your material possessions once the disaster is over and you have regained all your financial losses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-11803\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-11803\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Leon D.<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-11803\"><time datetime=\"2011-11-21T15:19:16-05:00\">November 21, 2011 at 3:19 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Get yours before their gone\u2026<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re gone\u2026<\/p>\n<p>CDC needs a proofreader.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-11812\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-11812\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">www.audir8forsale.com<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-11812\"><time datetime=\"2011-11-21T18:50:19-05:00\">November 21, 2011 at 6:50 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Again the basic survivor skills are presented as life saver in emergency situations.

The subject would also need a diminished capacity for pain and complete loss of higher brain function, or else the subject would not bite and attack others and the pathogen would not spread.<br \/>\nIn this scenario depending on where you lived and where the infection originated would determine your survival strategy. The safest place to be in a zombie infestation is obviously an area with no zombies and where zombies would have trouble to get to. The place that makes the most sense to me would be an island big enough to sustain a family or small civilization. For instance if the zombie plague originated in the U.S. I would probably want to move to Australia, or at least that would be my first choice. However depending on how fast the infection spread they might shut down air travel, in which case I would try to find somewhere closer. Since I live in Canada, probably Vancouver Island.<br \/>\nAnother strategy would be to go far enough north that zombies could not survive the year round cold. This would also work for the undead type zombie as they would freeze solid in the arctic and be unable to move. Also a bleeding half dead human wandering through the arctic would likely either fall into a crevasse or be eaten by polar bears\u2026.However that does leave the possibility of zombie polar bears which I don\u2019t even want to think about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-12694\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-12694\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">juice diet<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-12694\"><time datetime=\"2011-12-04T18:19:21-05:00\">December 4, 2011 at 6:19 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Probably your greatest article on the net..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-12710\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-12710\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Garrett<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-12710\"><time datetime=\"2011-12-05T00:23:22-05:00\">December 5, 2011 at 12:23 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>I can see everyone needing living essentials\u2026but food, water, and medical supplies practically grow on tree\u2019s in most areas.

Also for some people who might have not evaluated this article clearly it uses a Zombie Apocalypse as a theme to get people thinking of making a disaster kit whether for a Zombie Apocalypse or a Natural Disaster, and I highly doubt this article was made \u201cwasting\u201d taxpayers money, don\u2019t you see? what better way to (what I said earlier at the top of my post). Regardless of what the theme is the message is clear (or so it should be) to be prepared for any type of emergency situation (i.e. fire, natural disasters, town\/city evacuation, etc.) that may strike at any moment.<\/p>\n<p>Personally anyone at the CDC could have made this article for fun while still having a purpose, to send a message, besides I doubt this article took much effort to publish or any money in that case. Anyone, if they have the ability to, can post an article in their website having done some research on what they are talking about. I myself made a 6 page research paper on how Bank Bailouts may be good strategy to stabilize an economy artificially in about 5 hrs. Though anyone with basic knowledge about Zombies can create an article encouraging people to be prepared for an emergency of any type using a Zombies Apocalypse as a theme.<\/p>\n<p>Notice that there are some clues that the CDC understands that a Zombie Apocalypse is very unlikely-\u201cand hey, maybe you\u2019ll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency.\u201d \u201cWell, we\u2019re here to answer that question for you, and hopefully share a few tips about preparing for real emergencies too!\u201d \u201cThis includes where you would go and who you would call if zombies started appearing outside your door step. You can also implement this plan if there is a flood, earthquake, or other emergency.\u201d(CDC)-on my post it may not appear in italics<br \/>\nbut if you were to review the article you will see that the word \u201creal\u201d is in italics stating once again, that a Zombie Apocalypse is very unlikely. About the third quote, the author uses the situation in which how people should react or do in a Zombie invasion around your house or community because those same strategies can be applied to more common disasters or emergencies. For example: you would call a neighbor or a friend if Zombies were surrounding your house and you are trapped inside, right? This type of action can be applied to you say if you were trapped in a building that was on fire or that had collapsed from an earthquake.<\/p>\n<p>So, if I may say, the CDC has created an article relating to events during a Zombie Apocalypse to real life emergencies to send a message to the public (in this case, believers and the younger population or just about anyone who would rather be prepared anyway) to be prepared!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-15998\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-15998\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Adam Brown<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-15998\"><time datetime=\"2012-01-12T18:55:41-05:00\">January 12, 2012 at 6:55 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Where can I find Zombie Proof Ammo cans?

It\u2019s not wasting money, people are entertained by Zombies and most people are interested. This is a great way to spread the word about being prepared, as stated in the article, if you are prepared for a zombie apocalypse then you are prepared for anything. This is no different then what teachers do in classes, they find an interest point and make it apply to the lesson. I think this is a great way to get people to prepare, and be ready for anything. Thank you for sharing this information, I hope it gets through to people. And for everyone who thinks they are going to hide out in a store, good luck keeping it secure because you will have to fight more people then zombies. Everyone has the same ideas, those ideas will get you killed.

I mean, its not like I don\u2019t have a good Idea, and I know where to avoid, but where do you go? Let\u2019s say you have a safehouse(just the place your at, maybe a few people), and there are zombies outside, but your safe and have a good amount of supplies. Don\u2019t you always have a plan to go to a final safe zone, like zombie-free. In other words. Ok, just because am safe now, in this place, doesn\u2019t mean I wanna be here for ever, like where can I move on to as my ultimate goal, a safer place. For one, I live in South Florida, so I\u2019ll tell you, you dead if you don\u2019t have a boat. Ok, there\u2019s Miami, and Ft. Lauterdale, but what about the majority of people living in suburbs a few miles farther inland. For thoughts of you who don\u2019t understand, go to google maps, and look at the satellite image of the east coast of south Florida and that huge mesh of city after city, is what am talking about. Oh, and I live in Coral Springs (if you don\u2019t know where it is, type it in on google maps), so am surrounded to the east and south by suburbs, and after that, cities. To the west, Big Cypress National park, basically the Everglades, litteray on the western city limits. North, north\u2019s a smaller town, called park land and after that, guess what more suburbs and big cypress! Wow, I feel surrounded, so this is why I ask, were do I go? There\u2019s two highways out of south Florida, I-95 on the east coast(not an option) and one called the Tami-ami trail, which goes from Miami to western south Florida, or in otherwords, Another city! I really hope I get good suggestions, and please don\u2019t say \u201cgo to cuba\u2026\u201d. Great an Island full of refugees(soon to be zombies) from Florida.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-19859\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-19859\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Jerzy<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-19859\"><time datetime=\"2012-02-24T10:56:58-05:00\">February 24, 2012 at 10:56 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>To Christian,<\/p>\n<p>Take a glider boat and disappear into Everglades.

Its best to avoid crowded areas and be ready to kill, mentality is a huge part of survival. Be ready at home, in the car and on the go, always have a plan a, b, and c. I\u2019m only 16 and i\u2019m already prepared for any disaster to hit California, after all any disaster kit can also be used for a zombie apocalypse kit. Also DONT FORGET TO WATCH EACH OTHERS BACKS, many times someone will mess up on any important job, even in modern warfare people still mess up. Ba alert at all times, trade off keeping watch at night and help each other out. Setting up a small trustworthy community of people who are local to your area is also a good idea, but make sure they are trustworthy and share similar goals and interests as you. Tell the wrong person what you have prepared could make you a target for a raid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-19981\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-19981\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Jeremy l. gill<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-19981\"><time datetime=\"2012-02-25T21:35:24-05:00\">February 25, 2012 at 9:35 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>machetes are not a bod idea. they are light and very affordable,plus no ammo needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-20025\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-20025\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Worried<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-20025\"><time datetime=\"2012-02-26T08:43:58-05:00\">February 26, 2012 at 8:43 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>All this coming from the same clowns that were unable to prevent the swine flu from spreading the way it did, the delays in the vaccine etc.<br \/>\nIf this ever happened the world would be doomed!!<br \/>\nThe CDC is a joke.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-20102\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-20102\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Hollea<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-20102\"><time datetime=\"2012-02-27T00:53:14-05:00\">February 27, 2012 at 12:53 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>You cant be serious with this zombie crap<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-20320\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-20320\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Aislinn<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-20320\"><time datetime=\"2012-02-28T16:59:53-05:00\">February 28, 2012 at 4:59 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>ok so like if there really is going to be a zombie apocalypse which i don\u2019t belive is going to happen but just in case i\u2019ll be ready for them.

There is A LOT of biological warfare going on behind closed doors. What leaks out to the public is just a glimpse of whats really going on. And besides this biological warfare, flu\u2019s and infections are being messed with everyday. Recently the bird flu. There was an article about that being contaminated with something and turning into a deadly virus. They are one deadly virus away from creating that virus that will turn humans into something like zombies. So if some people do not believe that the \u201cZombie\u201d apocalypse is going to happen, lets start calling it a virus outbreak.

I work for the government, and have seen taxpayer money wasted first hand, this is not one of those cases. Clearly you can not appreciate the humor in this awareness campaign, or in everyday life I would guess. I would hate to know you, such a boring life you must have if you can\u2019t find the value and humor in something such as this. Many people under 30 have never even thought about emergency preparedness, until The CDC posted this. I guarantee this has made thousands of people think about preparing for real life emergency, and it has managed to do it in a very clever way. I am guessing the CDC was not trying to reach people like you, but more the younger people, with a sense of humor, that maybe could use a lesson on the topic. You guys criticizing are really just complaining to complain, is your life so boring that you track down things that are not geared towards you, just so you can post a comment whining about it?

Get to know your neighbors, you\u2019ll be surprised what you can do when you combine resources.<br \/>\n2. Extra batteries on hand, there will be no electricity, no computers, no cell phones after about 1-day.<br \/>\n3. Charcoal Grill, you\u2019ll need to do something about the food thawing in your freezer, my suggestion is a block party. You can also heat water for personal hygiene.<br \/>\n4. Plastic bucket for city dwellers your sewer system will be shut down, it gets ugly after a day or so. Fill the bathtub with water for flushing this also can be used as a last resort for drinking water. Don\u2019t live on the first floor or low area, once the pipes fill up with sewage it start coming up throught the plumbing.<br \/>\n5. Fill your vehicle with gas expecially if you have a generator. There will not be any gas stations open for business.<br \/>\n6. Help out when and where you can, be a part of the solution and not the problem.<\/p>\n<p>My lessons from Hurricane Fran.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-37568\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-37568\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">nicky<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-37568\"><time datetime=\"2012-05-21T17:05:16-05:00\">May 21, 2012 at 5:05 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>my grandma wont beleive it till it happens.I told her that she will be VERY SORRY is it does happen.U see i am a Boyscout and I am PREPARED.like our motto says BE PREPARED<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-37636\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-37636\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Nick<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-37636\"><time datetime=\"2012-05-22T01:25:46-05:00\">May 22, 2012 at 1:25 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>This is just a hurricane\/ tornado survival guide that has the word zombie implanted\u2026nice try CDC youre still behind the 8 ball<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-37641\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-37641\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Alejandro<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-37641\"><time datetime=\"2012-05-22T01:51:38-05:00\">May 22, 2012 at 1:51 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Just to make a quick note.if you are in no troble(zombie,disaster) study the facts.What if a zombie sences are dead,only hearing,there is no point in hiding right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-37779\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-37779\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Dawn<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-37779\"><time datetime=\"2012-05-22T11:10:22-05:00\">May 22, 2012 at 11:10 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>CDC pretty smart\u2026. many people won\u2019t even read this until you put zombie in it!

The Soviet Union or Germany experimented with reanimation of the dead back in the 40s. They first experimented with dead dogs. Once reanimated the animal survived for several days. The next experiment was done on deceased human soldiers. After the human body had been dead for days they reanimated it for over a half hour. They were trying to create the \u201cperfect\u201d soldier! They were made to give up on the experiment though. However scientists have been experimenting with reanimation for decades and will continue to. I truly believe that a Zombie Apocalypse could happen! Maybe not today, next year or even 10 years.

A year later, and still people are reading and commenting. Who\u2019d have thought that something like this would not just resonate with readers, but get them thinking.<br \/>\nAs a general roundup, there\u2019s a couple of points to consider. First, as a number of people have mentioned, if you have prepared and have the things you need to survive a zombie apocalypse (or any other type of disease situation which may lead to a breakdown of society), you have a number of things that others may want. Things they may kill for. Be prepared to protect what you have if it is necessary.<br \/>\nSecond, if you\u2019re going to bug out, you have to consider what the disaster is when making plans for travel and meeting up again. Choke points such as bridges and tunnels are likely to be clogged, meeting near a river may be somewhat dodgy in a flood, just as meeting in a forest ain\u2019t so good in a wildfire situation, or meeting in a mall during a true zombie apocalypse.<br \/>\nA final point, what most people fail to consider in an unexpected emergency is that it is, surprisingly, unexpected. You really have to check your assumptions: think about the little things that you take for granted. You don\u2019t want to be the one dashing into the store, leaving behind the famous last words \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll just be a minute\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-38796\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-38796\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Marrion Lardera<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-38796\"><time datetime=\"2012-05-25T21:36:44-05:00\">May 25, 2012 at 9:36 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Thanks for the inspiration on starting a new blog\u2026 Zombie Apocalypse\u2026!!! and great warning\u2026.. &#x1f642; good thing we have a axe, kitchen knives and some small knives\u2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-39154\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-39154\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Wraith<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-39154\"><time datetime=\"2012-05-27T01:42:34-05:00\">May 27, 2012 at 1:42 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>So, where were you when patient zero showed up in Miami, Florida?<\/p>\n<p>Per the Miami Herald today\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe officer ordered the naked man to back away, and when he continued the assault, the officer shot him.

This isn\u2019t even remotely funny. I am a registered nurse who has spent 11 of the past 17 years working in the emergency department.

Does the CDC consider a man losing 75% of his face because of a drug crazed maniac, funny and worth assigning an enitire blog page including \u201csurvival\u201d tips?<br \/>\nI am calling for the immediate termination of whoever authored this blog (assistant surgeon general, maybe?).

It has served its purpose.. But really though, with all of the recent craziness, I\u2019m getting ready regardless. I\u2019m not crazy. I\u2019m just not an idiot. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it\u2019s probably a duck right.. Well following the same logic: If it looks like a zombie, attacks and eats humans like a zombie, it\u2019s probably a zombie. A zombie apocalypse is possible!!!

I think it is wonderful. I am a full supporter of the zombie squad and for anyone who does not know what that is let me tell you. A while back a group of friends were all sitting around and watching zombie flix. They started talking about what they would do if they were ever in that situation. Totally hypothetical of course. From there it grew. The zombie squad is very big in communities helping people to learn the things to do incase of any type of emergency. This is what the CDC means by having a zombie apokolipse preparedness kit. It helps to teach people what to do incase of pandemics, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and all other major disasters such as terrorist attacks. I think it is great and I hope everyone involved keeps up the great work. I am always open minded and gun hoe when it comes to learning new techniques and suggestions on how to servive and keep my family alive during any type of emergency. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN OR WHEN IT COULD HAPPEN. People really need to wake up, pay attention, and get themselves prepared. This day in age no one can be 100% sure that nothing will ever happen. We need to be prepared and ready. Thank you to all of those who are spending their time and effort to educate people to keep themselves safe!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-42209\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-42209\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">usui<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-42209\"><time datetime=\"2012-06-10T16:48:14-05:00\">June 10, 2012 at 4:48 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Hmm, zombie apocalypse I think anything is possible at this point.

These incidents are caused by a synthetic cocaine \/ acid. Now if a virus mutated which is likely since viruses tend to mutate at some point, could the zombie apocalypse become a reality? It\u2019s always better safe than sorry. I actually purchased a ninja sword just in case. Call me crazy lol.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to ponder about, as population density increases, resources decrease. With lack of food, I can see cannibalistic behavior arise. Population is something that is hard to control. Humans have screwed up the world by killing off insects etc. that play an important role in our ecosystem. People overbreeding having 4+ children. Land keeps getting torn down to create housing. Seriously, WTF are we doing to the earth!? Younger generations growing up with crap media making them think they NEED things when they are WANTS (stupid housewives shows, kardashians, jersey shore, etc). Priorities have seriously become screwed up. How many people do you know could live in the woods and live off the land? Younger generations are not educated in this area and those who attend Boy Scouts, they get picked on and made fun of in schools so they stop. Media is screwing up our children\u2019s natural instincts. Wake up people and start teaching your children the most basic principles in life!!! Oh wait, most probably can\u2019t teach their children b\/c they wouldn\u2019t know where to start!<\/p>\n<p>I tend to think, the possibility of SHTF will occur. In our society, there is no such thing as natural selection. Population will just increase, jobs have decreased, people will become desperate. We alone are like zombies, we\u2019ve destroyed the world. Once every country reaches the billions in population, we are all seriously screwed. It might change as the government will need to do something about the population, people will find it \u201cnot fair\u201d that they cannot have more than 1 child etc. WAKE UP, your birth certificate did NOT say that life will be fair.<\/p>\n<p>People need to THINK b\/4 they act. Families such as \u201cKate and only 8\u2033\u2026 Ignorant people breading like crazy.<\/p>\n<p>We are just setting us all up for failure\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-44284\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-44284\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">MontieR<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-44284\"><time datetime=\"2012-06-17T14:33:33-05:00\">June 17, 2012 at 2:33 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>I am not concerned about the brain eaters.

I like the idea and everything but why choose zombies as a way of advertising lol, this does not do anything to quell peoples imaginations and fears. Surely there\u2019s a better way of advertising, or perhaps the CDC is really getting the general public prepared for something. Governments and organisations usually let out little snippets of information before an event or occurrence. I am shocked to say the least, if it is just advertising its a real strange way of doing it; and not uniform to, or the standard practice that serious organisations usually take.

It doesn\u2019t require ammunition and can be highly effective at clearing a path through hordes of zombies whilst trying to make good your escape.\u201d Aluminum bats tend to work well for a little while but after a maximum of about 20 strikes, depending on your strength, they will start to bend, distort, and become utterly ineffective very quickly. Read Max Brook\u2019s book \u2018The Zombie Survival Guide\u2019 for a lot more detail about surviving against the undead.<\/p>\n<p>And for those of you who don\u2019t believe that the zombie apocalypse will ever happen, here\u2019s a little tidbit of information for you: Its quite simple for an 11th grade student to genetically engineer a bacteria that is resistant to multiple types of antibiotics (like I did for my science fair project). Just imagine how someone with the knowledge could create something like a genetically engineered virus to be a zombie virus, or how easy it would be for a biology grad student with access to a university laboratory. &#x1f642; So far tests are coming along nicely. Although the transfer from an infected subject to a clean one is proving difficult. More subjects needed for testing.

So if you have an iPhone\/iPad or iPod check out Zombie Strong Holds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-62727\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-62727\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">S<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-62727\"><time datetime=\"2012-07-23T05:51:07-05:00\">July 23, 2012 at 5:51 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Not to be a cynical susan here, but how do you make a list of supplies for a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, and not chainsaw<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-63451\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-63451\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Brandy<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-63451\"><time datetime=\"2012-07-24T17:43:56-05:00\">July 24, 2012 at 5:43 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>\u2026.Really? How can you be afraid of something that does NOT exist? It\u2019s just another way for the government to get people into a panic. Honestly, which would you sooner prepare for? A flood or an apocalypse? Obviously for the one that will ACTUALLY happen. All of these zombie movies (Resident Evil, Land of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, ect\u2026) has put all of these ideas into your heads that gives the idea that there\u2019s going to be an apocalypse? Honestly, this is not something that has been around as long as REAL emergencies. Natural disasters don\u2019t just pop out of nowhere like this whole zombie thing did. WHich by the way, a zombie apocalypse should NOT considered a natural disaster. Quit wasting on your time on something that\u2019s not going to happen. Quit believing everything that the government is telling you, and I agree with comment #1111, Chainsaw is more likely to happen than a zombie apocalypse. The government needs to stop wasting money on something that WILL NOT HAPPEN. Do something more productive with your lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-63918\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-63918\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Jefferson Steelflex<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-63918\"><time datetime=\"2012-07-25T18:13:48-05:00\">July 25, 2012 at 6:13 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>As \u201ccool\u201d as it may sound, and how fun it is to talk about; there could never be zombies.

Like so many others, to the naysayers and complainers about the expenditure involved, this is not about zombies. The CDC says in the article, there \u201cmay be\u201d some kind of disease agent, now or in the future, the effect of which could resemble a zombie. However, this focus of the article is <b><i>disaster preparedness<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone wanting a simpler description of disaster preparedness, think extending camping trip. Pretty much the same list of requirements.<\/p>\n<p>I admit I came to this page looking for \u201cCDC bashing\u201d tools when I saw the \u201czombie\u201d tag. I changed my mind after reading the article about <b><i>disaster preparedness<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>My comment to the CDC: I hope using the cultural obsession has brought the message to much wider audience.

In my thought it will be a very fun but very bad at the same time. We as a human race will be put to our biggiest challange of all time, it would be called population control. When the out break accures there will be a country wide panic. The first two weeks or so would be the main out break, than would follow the survial time. What would be the first reaction of all man kind as a group when something like this would happen. Let me tell you, it is called Utter Chaos. When this happens the world as we know it well vanish and never be the same again. The zombie out break can happen in many ways such as air born, shots, or even a sonic wave to disable brain funcations. To survive this out break you will have to know a couple things besides a normal med kit and food and water. You will have to learn how to use had to hand combat cause eventually you will get face to face with a zombie and have to fight. This out break will spread extremly fast no one will be ready for the speed of it. There are many comments about if they will run, walk or even be scared of water. If you ever get the chance i say find out and test some ideas that you have but be safe about how you would go about finding out. My name is Spencer and these are a couple things that I think, if you would like me to make more comments please let me know. I love the thought of zombies and what will happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-100676\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-100676\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Jeremy Mills<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-100676\"><time datetime=\"2012-09-23T03:52:17-05:00\">September 23, 2012 at 3:52 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Ok, first of all, does everyone really think that a goverment agency would make a web page on how to live against zombies just for our amusement? Really think about it, they are \u201cputting a pretty face on it\u201d so to speak. The CDC is not going to talk about a virus or disease that they think is \u201cfake\u201d. They know something we dont, while \u201cthey\u201d are making a joke out of this, there is probably something really to worry about. Next thing we know they are going to make videos showing us how to survive a zombie attack and play it on national TV, just like they use to do during the Cold War, \u201cHow To Survive A Nuclear Attack\u201d.

Although I wish that it was not made because it only reinforces the idiotic idea of a Zombie invasion. The dead cannot come back to life. The dead cannot walk. Someone posted about Rabies being possible. That is the only way a \u201czombie\u201d can ever happen. To which that is already taken care of because there is a cure for rabies, as well as isolation of infected people will utterly kill off infected rabies carries.<\/p>\n<p>Again, the media and entertainment play off this irrational fear of Zombies and they become rich, filthy rich off the stupidity of misguided and deluded people. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love a good zombie movie. The Walking Dead is a fantastic series. Dawn of the Dead, Zombieland\u2026great movies. But that is where it ends. They are movies, and any person that cannot understand the difference needs to have all entertainment stripped from their lives, as they are not mature enough to handle them.<\/p>\n<p>Now as I said this post has a very mock like feel to it\u2026and if that is true then I commend the CDC for their humor that we all thought was non-existent. However, if I am wrong and the CDC really believes this\u2026then I have to say that I am greatly disappointed that my tax dollars have been wasted on this ridiculous posting. And I must say that we are truly doomed as a Country. We are leaders and the people that we look to are as stupid as the typical person\u2026.we are truly doomed. And not because of Zombies\u2026.but because of inadequate leaders and idiotic people in power of our safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-103334\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-103334\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Alurelf<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-103334\"><time datetime=\"2012-10-05T23:40:40-05:00\">October 5, 2012 at 11:40 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>cool!! can you make a Z-Virus? lol XD,cause my dream is killin\u2019 all the zombies XD<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-103745\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-103745\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">John<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-103745\"><time datetime=\"2012-10-07T06:42:04-05:00\">October 7, 2012 at 6:42 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>I guess its fake until a zombie appears in front of my house and tries to sell cookies!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-104229\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-104229\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">peter valencia<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-104229\"><time datetime=\"2012-10-09T12:01:14-05:00\">October 9, 2012 at 12:01 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>this is stupid zombies are not real<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-104306\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-104306\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">denise<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-104306\"><time datetime=\"2012-10-09T21:38:13-05:00\">October 9, 2012 at 9:38 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Not that I am a believer in zombies like in the movies coming back from the dead\u2026however I am now a believer in people taking bath salts and acting all zombie like\u2026who is to say that are water is safe from terrorist attack?

Considering everything they have their scientists experimenting with, especially things that should just be left alone, you never know what could happen. Also, although the comment was made last year, Scott M is somewhat correct. If the Zombie Apocalypse does happen and they are anything like Zack Snyders zombies, then we better start practicing the Zombieland Survival Rules. CARDIO!!! He did mention however that we wouldnt have to worry as much if they were anything like the Romero\/Brooks zombies, \u201cslow, lumbering zombies\u201d, and if not for the Romeros remakes of Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead, i would agree with him, but we have to take into consideration that, although they may be dead, and more likely brain dead, they may still be capable of some level of intelligence and learning, ie. in Land of the Dead when the \u201czombies\u2019 leader\u201d figures out how to use a gun and climb fences.

This entire thing was made as a way of getting people to plan for a disaster. But, my guess is that no one is going to read this, since the last post when I wrote this was number 1230. I had stopped reading around 200. Mainly because for every good post about the CDC having come up with a very clever way of getting more and more people to think about having a disaster preparedness kit ready, there are ten either bashing the CDC for waisting their tax dollars on a ZOMBIE scenario guide, or those saying that they forgot to include weapons. People, understand that this is a way of spinning the normally dry, stale topic of disaster preparation in a way that many people will find funny. I didn\u2019t even know that this had been made until I saw it on XBOX Live Dec 20, 2012 around 2300 Eastern. This was a brilliant idea for the CDC, and I\u2019m glad that someone at the agency saw that this might be a great way of getting people to think about disaster planning. It\u2019s just a shame that so many people think they were being serious when they said Zombie planning.

We talked about the real-life historical pandemics that contributed to the zombie culture, and had a retired fire fighter talk to visitors about how prepping for a zombie apocalypse can help their families be prepared for more likely disasters like severe weather, epidemics, fires, earthquakes, and terrorist attacks. Participants surprised us by coming dressed as zombies!

I think you have a few crazies left feeling a little foolish, perhaps a bit chagrined, that such government entities have given their deepest fears no true creedence. I beg of you, please create emergency preparedness drills for vampiric bat attacks, mad rampaging monsters that fear fire, and long dead Egyptian corpses that might shamble into your bathroom and become mistaken for toilet paper. Perhaps someone out there will thank you for taking their fears seriously, and, oh, I don\u2019t know \u2013 create an emergency preparedness kit that will work just as well for a power outage as it will for a long dark evening fighting against the Transylvania Terror? Because quite honestly, I\u2019d actually love to read some of the posts written about it. The ones complaining that you just educated someone how to survive a flood by using zombies or other supernatural monsters would be up in arms. Because how dare you, oh great, grand, and glorious CDC, educate the populous using pop culture mythos or nontraditional means. For shame. You might have just saved a couple thousand lives in the long run, but how dare you do it without first boring us to tears and rapping a stick against the desk a few dozen times to keep us from nodding off. Shame shame shame.

In the event you become ill such as an infected cut or injury not incurred from a zombie bite, you\u2019ll need some antibiotics of some type. You\u2019ll also want to add some pain medications to the first aid portion of your kit. During a \u201cZombie Apocalypse\u201d, you\u2019ll need to be armed. Someone mentioned an aluminum baseball bat. Big knives are another type of reusable weapon. My daughter has the gist of it: a good crossbow with as many crossbow bolts as you can manage. (Thinking in the manner of reusable ammunition.) A set of razor sharp samuri swords, axes, tomahawks. But a smart, responsible person also knows the value of a firearm in said \u201cZombie Apocalypse\u201d.<br \/>\nSo on that note, a legal sidearm with perhaps a box or two of spare ammunition should be added to your kit as well.<br \/>\nThen you want to make sure you have plenty of protein goods in your kit as well. It may be longer than 72 hours in any emergency situation. Water, some type of protein bars, and stuff that won\u2019t spoil in storage. Always put some cash in a ziplock bag and put that in your kit as well. If something happens to the electric grids and there\u2019s no electricity to run the lights, computers, or the country\u2019s defense you\u2019ll have to rely on cash to purchase needed items. In the case of a \u201cZombie Apocalypse\u201d, cash money would be useless.<br \/>\nHave a prepaid cell phone in an actual emergency in your kit. The rescue units can trace a cell signal and come to your aid. During a zombie outbreak, you may have service to an extent but it won\u2019t last long.<br \/>\nMake sure your vehicle is gassed and ready to go. If you know your area, you can get to safety several ways. Most people are going to take the main streets and interstates to try and get out of the city or they\u2019ll rush to the nearest military bases for help. All and good, but even those facilities will be overrun and filled to capacity rather quickly.<br \/>\nThe best places to be are outside the cities. With so many people in the cities, there will be panic and chaos. Map out an escape route that keeps you off the beaten paths. Side streets, alley ways, and sometimes through a field, or park.<br \/>\nOnce outside the city, if you have somewhere to go, such as friends or family in a small unaffected town, you would be safe. During a zombie outbreak, you\u2019d want to get out of the city because of all the people who could become infected and just like in the movies, there could be millions of the walking dead in just days.<br \/>\nAnd outside of town, you\u2019d see them coming and could deal with them appropriately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-386371\" class=\"comment even thread-even

It\u2019s reassuring that if it ever did occur, we at the least wouldn\u2019t have to deal with the CDC sitting on their butts denying the possibility, just because the idea stemmed from a mix of movies and twists on legitimate cultural events. Sure, the ideas originated in entertainment, but as long as the idea holds a conclusive likelihood of occurring and a base in science, there is no reason why the chance couldn\u2019t be taken seriously. It\u2019s the same reason we prepare emergency kits. Even if we live in the safest, unlikeliest place to be hit by a natural disaster, there is nothing wrong with being prepared.<\/p>\n<p>I for one will be preparing my magazines and duct tape armor &#x1f609;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-386948\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-386948\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Joshua E.<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-386948\"><time datetime=\"2016-03-19T12:51:01-05:00\">March 19, 2016 at 12:51 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>This is a great approach to the topic of preparedness.

If a zombie virus was transferred through bodily fluids would it make any sense to smack a zombie with a bat and get blood all over yourself. If I were forced to engage in close-quarters combat I would at least have some sort of eye protection with long sleeves. We have all been taught that viruses can get in your body via your eyes,nose,mouth, and cuts. Which is why we should wash our hands before touching our face. I only wish for people to remember that you have to think solutions through. Prolonged close-quarters combat would tire you out considerably fast that is not to mention that approximately 80% of Americans do not get their recommended exercise. Running and killing zombies all day is going to put a toll on your body.

And if that happened lets face it no one\u2019s gonna be prepared for it, but the only thing that you could prepare for is lost of sentimental things and your loved ones. And if something like that does happen the military will try to fight but more than likely lose, all high up government agency leaders will hide out, and the CDC will try to find a cure but more than likely when they bring in a test subject with the disease to test the \u201ccure\u201d someone will mess up and the patient will get lose biting the nearest human turning them. And the major things to remember is 1 no one\u2019s coming for you,2 no place will be safe,3 there\u2019ll more than likely be no cure,4 don\u2019t trust anyone except family,5 be smart,6 learn how to survive,7 prepare to lose,8 only remember your past life to keep your humanity and remember the things you\u2019ve lost, 9 stay healthy,10 don\u2019t be afraid of anything that\u2019ll keep you back and probably get you killed. Now I know this sounds nuts but it\u2019ll probably help a lot. See a lot of TV shows and movies portray zombies in different ways either slow, fast, strong, weak, but the one thing they have in common are the things I\u2019ve listed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-423482\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-423482\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Gatling<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-423482\"><time datetime=\"2017-05-31T14:04:30-05:00\">May 31, 2017 at 2:04 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Do U make available hard copies.

I know you didn\u2019t exactly mean a zombie invasion, but you used a zombie apocalypse metaphorically to represent any catastrophic event. I appreciated the metaphorical intent of the CDC. Reading some of the other posts, I see that the metaphor didn\u2019t carry over to some people. You were smart to address an idea with high importance that few people think about via pop culture phenomenon: zombies! I wonder how many people started a preparedness kit (not for a zombie apocalypse, but one that could happen) because of your humorous and topical graphic novel? Me, for one. I remember an episode of \u201cThe Twilight Zone\u201d called \u201cThe Shelter\u201d where one man in the neighborhood is preparing for nuclear war by building a bomb shelter in his basement and stockpiling it with food, while his neighbors poke fun at his fear. When the neighbors are warned of a bomb headed their way, they beg to be let in. When he refuses saying that there isn\u2019t enough either supplies or water, his \u201cfriends\u201d use a battering ram to break into his once-secure shelter. Turns out that the warning is a mistake, but the damage is done to both the shelter and their friendships. I won\u2019t be building a shelter anytime soon, but I do have an all-hazards emergency kit. What are the odds that my neighbors have done the same?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-442424\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-442424\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Ben<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-442424\"><time datetime=\"2018-01-22T07:44:49-05:00\">January 22, 2018 at 7:44 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>This is awesome.

Also, people forget that there would probably be some build up to an apocalypse so shops would have been emptied beforehand and raiding buildings would be impossible. Your best bet is probably to find a hiding place (away from any cities) before the apocalypse happens and go straight there with only things to obtain food, water and make fire, make shelter and defend yourself.<br \/>\nHowever, if zombies don\u2019t need brains to survive and have no functioning organs, then theoretically, it should be impossible to kill them, especially if they are already \u2018dead\u2019. There are chances that an apocalypse could happen, and in certain areas there are frequent natural disasters, so it is worth putting together a survival kit, but assuming that zombies are definitely going to take over the earth is just a waste of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-444097\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-444097\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">A person<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-444097\"><time datetime=\"2018-02-18T04:37:46-05:00\">February 18, 2018 at 4:37 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>A zombie apocalypse is highly unlikely to happen, and the fictional virus that causes it doesn\u2019t actually create zombies.

In \u201c28 Weeks Later\u201d the military is completely against everyone in society, they even shoot the uninfected. If a natural disaster were to occur though, we need to have the same form of mind the characters held within the reading. We must come together in the hard times, not turn against each other and see who can survive. Maybe not all of our acquaintances believe in the power of zombies taking over, but a natural disaster is bound to occur at some point in your lives. Encourage your neighbors to be prepared for tragic events, which are not just for an apocalypse, but a natural disaster as well. If everyone surrounding you is prepared for an event like this, everyone can stick together, not turn against each other to steal their supplies. Overall the comic provides strong ideas if a natural disaster were to occur, and is educational for the zombie believers in society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446651\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446651\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">BRENDA<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446651\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-02T17:17:38-05:00\">April 2, 2018 at 5:17 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Don\u2019t forget non-electronic reading material!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446654\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446654\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Seth<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446654\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-02T17:29:15-05:00\">April 2, 2018 at 5:29 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Although some criticize the CDC for wasting taxpayer money by making this graphic novel about preparedness during the zombie apocalypse, it is a clever way to make being prepared for a crisis more palatable to the public. The recommendations that they make in the graphic novel such as having water, food and a radio prepared, which would be useful in an emergency. If citizens find themselves snowed in, without power for a long period of time, in a hurricane or tornado, or any other unforeseeable disaster, they will be thankful that they have their CDC approved \u201czombie\u201d survival kit handy. In the graphic novel, all of the tools that the main character packs end up being useful. The CDC is illustrating that because you never know what will happen, it is best to be prepared with some necessities. They are offering advice for Americans in a fun way to increase the number of people that are actually prepared for an unforeseen circumstance, and I think that is a noble cause. If it were truly just for zombie outbreaks, surely, they would have recommended all sorts of silly homemade weaponry to defend one\u2019s self. There are plenty of useless things that the Federal Agencies of the government do that waste our money and warrant criticism; however, this is not one of them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446657\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446657\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">AL<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446657\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-02T18:15:53-05:00\">April 2, 2018 at 6:15 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>I really enjoyed the CDC\u2019s fictional comic about what would happen during the worst disaster imaginable: a zombie apocalypse. I also found the article, \u201cPreparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse,\u201d rather interesting and even useful for a variety of multiple and, well, more realistic scenarios that could always occur unexpectedly. I know that many people are probably thinking, \u2018what a waste of time, it\u2019s not like a zombie outbreak could ever actually happen,\u2019 but regardless, Preparedness 101 is still relevant to everyone and worth a read. People take things too seriously. Obviously, a zombie infestation isn\u2019t going to happen, but Preparedness 101 is still relevant and contains useful ways to prepare for other disasters such as earthquakes, floods, power outages, famines, etc.; the ways to prepare for a \u201czombie apocalypse\u201d are the same useful and crucial steps you need to take for any disaster. Natural disasters like the ones I mentioned above are occur frequently, especially nowadays, and people need to be educated on the ways we can prepare for them to keep ourselves, and our families safe. That\u2019s what this zombie orientated article, as well as the comic, is about. With the continuously growing zombie pop culture, the CDC utilized zombies to create a fun and interesting way to make people aware of the real disasters that occur in our modern world, and through Preparedness 101, they were able to accomplish just that. Thank you, CDC, I can now run along to my family and spread the message of how to prepare for the apocalypse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446659\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446659\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Nya<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446659\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-02T19:00:12-05:00\">April 2, 2018 at 7:00 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Reading the graphic novel: Preparedness 101: Zombie Pandemic was really humorous.

There are plenty of people who actually think the same way me being included, that they are invincible to natural disasters, or have not been exposed to a natural disaster to know how to properly prepare for one. The CDC does a great job explaining how to prepare for these types of situations through a zombie outbreak, a great way to get the readers attention. Also, in the graphic novel there\u2019s a scenario that explains the consequences of not being properly prepared., you could run out of resources. You never know how long you would be in that kind of predicament, so it is always nice to be over prepared when encountering these kinds of situations, better safe than sorry. After reading this I would definitely prepare an emergency kit, because I am definitely one of those people who would not think anything could happen to me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446660\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446660\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Brett<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446660\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-02T19:00:41-05:00\">April 2, 2018 at 7:00 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>I really took great pleasure in reading the CDC\u2019s comic about a zombie apocalypse. The CDC takes a different approach to help inform those of a potential catastrophe and used comedic relief to be not only entertaining but also educational. It was a very interesting read considering it involves rather serious situations. Rather than taking a boring and uninteresting approach and just writing what to do, the CDC tries to relate to the reader and takes the extra time to get their point across. Even though a zombie apocalypse is highly unlikely, the reader can take more away for other drastic events like floods, power outages, etc. and the reader will know how to be prepared in these situations. The article \u201cPreparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse\u201d, gives great info to the reader on how to be prepared like giving them a list of necessities that should be put together in case of an emergency. Th article also provides a visual for those who may perceive information better that way. Overall the article was very informative and intriguing. I would recommend this article to all my family and friends. I hope that this article will be spread to all to inform them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446664\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446664\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Katie O.<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446664\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-02T20:47:11-05:00\">April 2, 2018 at 8:47 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Preparedness 101: Zombie Pandemic seems to be stirring a lot of controversy within the comments of the tax payers. Unlike many of them, I think that this graphic novel is the perfect way to engage the masses through popular culture. With zombies being all the rage, speculating about a zombie apocalypse is a great way to show the effectiveness of preparedness to the extreme. You identify what should be in an emergency kit and teach us how to be prepared for any disaster, no matter how unlikely it seems. I am reminded of Orson Welles \u201cThe War of the Worlds\u201d radio broadcast in which he tells the story of an alien invasion. The broadcast was so real that many people believed him and began to panic because of the already growing fear of WWII. Just as the characters of the graphic novel did not know what the truth was and trusted the media to tell them what to do, the people listening in 1938 trusted Welles to tell the truth and assumed that there was no dramatization occurring. The listener was unknowingly put in a position to prepare for a science fiction fueled cataclysmic event, that never happened. Like the CDC graphic novel, the audience in this case is in the same position in which they are misinformed for a greater cause, to be prepared for anything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446665\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446665\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Colbie<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446665\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-02T21:20:06-05:00\">April 2, 2018 at 9:20 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>The fictional piece the Center for Disease Control (CDC) released was very informative and easy to read. I too am very afraid of most scary movies but always thought them as such; just scary movies. This kind of changed my perspective. I feel very uneasy if there were a serious emergency to happen because I know that my family and I are unprepared for such an event. Using zombies as a metaphor for a serious disaster was a good call. I praise the CDC for using zombies in their informative comic book style novel. The use of zombies was very smart because it is something a lot of people find interesting it would and did bring a lot of people in to read and retain the important information, not that everyone understood the true purpose for the CDC releasing this. You can\u2019t win them all. As I recall in the past couple of zombie movies I have watched I did notice that the main characters did not have supplies. In Night of the Living Dead the home that Barbara was in had a radio but it did not seem like there were a lot of supplies set up for an emergency. The characters had to get all those things together themselves. Maybe if in major motion pictures they were prepared we would all do the same.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446666\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446666\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">amariestraus<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446666\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-02T21:24:43-05:00\">April 2, 2018 at 9:24 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>While a zombie apocalypse is not probable to happen any time soon, or at all, this comic relays the point of preparedness very well. In recent decades, there has been a large increase in the popularity of zombies and zombie films in society. None of these films are suggesting that a zombie apocalypse is actually going to happen. Nor do the majority of viewers take it literally and suggest an apocalypse in the future. The movies are made to address a certain stigma or social concern. For example, the 2007 film Diary of the Dead is about society\u2019s obsession with technology and the internet as it shows a teen\u2019s need to record everything that happens in his life. Jonathan Levine\u2019s Warm Bodies addresses post-9\/11 America and the division among citizens it caused. It gives a message that love conquers all and everyone can coexist happily. Even the earliest zombie movies like George Romero\u2019s 1969 Night of the Living Dead create allegory in zombie films, referring to racism as well as the state of society in the Sixties. None of these films created any reason alluding to potential zombie apocalypses, but rather shined light on other social issues. The CDC is doing a similar thing here. They are simply using zombies in a manner that will reach a broader audience in order to help spread the idea that people should have preparation kits in the case of an emergency. Zombies keep it entertaining while still allowing the point to come through.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446669\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446669\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">GE<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446669\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-02T21:58:07-05:00\">April 2, 2018 at 9:58 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>The CDC\u2019s Preparedness 101: Zombie Pandemic is a good way to talk about something that should be taken seriously, but in a more light and humorous way. For example, the short comic like article goes over all the different scenarios that may happen not only in a zombie apocalypse, but also any sort of natural disaster or outbreak. In order to understand the reality of this article you can\u2019t just take it as some fictional idea. The point of the article is to make you understand the importance of a survival\/disaster kit. This article reminds me a lot about storm shelters people have in areas that are more frequent to tornados and other natural disasters. It is more common to find survival shelters and kits in areas that are more prone to certain disasters. I think that it should be something that everyone should look into and prepare a disaster kit just to be on the safe side. This article also reminded me of an old film be George Romero. In \u201cNight of the Living Dead,\u201d a group of people find themselves stuck in a house as a zombie outbreak is going on. There is a group in the cellar who have everything they need to survive and stay away from all of the zombies. Although their supplies were found on the spot, I feel that the more prepared you are, the more likely you will think of things that you need the most. The CDC did a great job to inform people of the importance of a survival kit. You just can\u2019t look at the surface of this article to understand the importance of it. I know I will be starting to look for things to keep ahold of just in case. You should too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446672\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446672\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">BSS<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446672\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-02T22:47:25-05:00\">April 2, 2018 at 10:47 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>While reading both the graphic novel and the CDC website article, I realized how preparation for a zombie apocalypse is so closely related to that of any other natural disaster. As the graphic novel shows a zombie apocalypse, like any other disaster can appear out of now where with little warning in advance, until it is too late. It shows the importance of needing emergency supplies and having a plan for what to do in the event of any type of emergency. Depending on the type of emergency, ex. a zombie invasion, we all would need to have enough supplies to survive for forever how long it goes on. In the NBC\u2019s television show, The Office, Dwight, in Season 5 Episode 14, \u201cStress Relief: Part 1\u201d, creates a mock fire drill that throws the entire office into a panic. The fire drill threw the entire office into chaos with everyone trying to find a way to escape, they had no fire emergency plan that they were supposed to follow. Although it is only a fire drill, it is a perfect example of how most people don\u2019t have anything prepared for time an emergency. Once the event happens it is too late, although to some people, it might be the only way to ensure people are prepared for what may happen in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446673\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446673\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Fatz<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446673\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-02T22:56:35-05:00\">April 2, 2018 at 10:56 pm<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>The article Preparedness 101: \u201cZombie Apocalypse\u201d gave great insight on the necessary steps to take in order to stay alive during an apocalypse. They also provided techniques necessary to stay alive in not just a zombie apocalypse but natural disasters such as, floods, tornadoes, and earthquakes. The idea of using comedy to inform the readers of this article is a great tactic. It diverts the reader\u2019s attention away from the seriousness of these life-threatening events. Using this tactic, it allows the reader to become more engaged and relate to the material better. There are many readers who have not experienced any type of natural disaster, or life-threatening event. The CDC uses comedy to relate to those readers who have not yet experienced events with such impact. The article also provides a list of tools and necessary resources that will be helpful during such hard times. I believe the CDC different approach to inform readers of the different ways to tackle life-threatening catastrophes. The use of visuals also engages and helps readers better understand necessary tips and tricks for catastrophes. This article was very informative and provided an outlook on events that can be life-threatening and teach those who have not yet come into contact with such events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446762\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446762\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Darrien Allen<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446762\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-04T06:47:33-05:00\">April 4, 2018 at 6:47 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Hey cdc what happens when the grid goes down and you don\u2019t have enough power to keep tuning research and the outher country\u2019s can\u2019t find a cure will it be ever man for himself<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-446776\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-446776\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Will Hicks<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-446776\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-04T10:50:00-05:00\">April 4, 2018 at 10:50 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Thank you for equipping us with this valuable information.

Obviously its very unlikely that the bodies of dead human beings will come back and feast on us as they\u2019ve been dead for tens and hundreds of years. There would be no way for the body to continuously maintain itself whilst buried underground with no food and water. Even if a completely deceased body, with the cause of death being anything from a disease to a tumor, could somehow become reanimated, it wouldn\u2019t be able to feed on anything, let alone lift the 100s of pounds of dirt from on top of them off. The weak body couldn\u2019t lift a casket or coffin lid, along with the dirt, and then chase living people around and bite them with all the organs needed to support life in the body in complete failure. It is physically and scientifically impossible for an actual zombie outbreak or apocalypse to occur. And furthermore, if these creature were to somehow exist, the decomposition would leave them too weak to do anything, or left so weak that the brittle remains would shatter if you flick or tap them, let alone shoot or batter their corpses.<\/p>\n<p>Take things a little less personally for once and enjoy the fun behind the educational information. Things stated here clearly say that they are to be used in ANY emergency, [including] the \u201czombie apocalypse\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-447348\" class=\"comment even thread-even depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-447348\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Rebecca<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-447348\"><time datetime=\"2018-04-11T10:53:32-05:00\">April 11, 2018 at 10:53 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Comments above mention how improbable a zombie apocalypse is, but how unlikely is a disaster such as a hurricane, tornado, bombing, or blizzard? Most will argue that it\u2019s a one in a million chance that it could happen, and they won\u2019t attempt to prepare for the worst. Your graphic novel, Preparedness 101: Zombie Pandemic stressed an important issue using an appealing presentation instead of just an article. How many people have read the novel in full instead of laughing it off? With the current state affairs across the globe, being prepared for any situation is imperative. Being prepared is something that doesn\u2019t require a degree, education, or a special talent, just common sense and an insignificant amount of time. In Night of the Living Dead, when the apocalypse is happening, Ben uses the resources available to him in the house and since there is no preparation kit, it makes it harder to survive. If there was a kit in the home, there is no doubt Ben would have had an easier time battling the undead. Instead of zombies attacking the house, image a blizzard trapping them inside the house with no potential for escape. Any disaster, whether it be the undead or mother nature, is something the CDC wants us to be prepared for and this article, as well as the graphic novel, allows us to act in our own households.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comment-461307\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-461307\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\"><b class=\"fn\">Parveen Angel<\/b> <span class=\"says\">says:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-cdc-gov.translate.goog\/publichealthmatters\/2011\/05\/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse\/?_x_tr_sl=en&amp;_x_tr_tl=el&amp;_x_tr_hl=el&amp;_x_tr_pto=nui,sc#comment-461307\"><time datetime=\"2018-08-05T11:40:08-05:00\">August 5, 2018 at 11:40 am<\/time><\/a><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Thank you for equipping us with this valuable information.
