Zombies are everywhere. From films to television show to video games, these flesh-consuming corpses have invaded just about everything, including pop culture. In fact, the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has its own page category dedicated to zombies.
Dr. Ali Khan, Director for Public Health Preparedness and Response Office of CDC, says, "If you are generally well equipped to deal with a zombie apocalypse you will be prepared for a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake, or terrorist attack." Makes sense right?
Here are some survival tips, should a zombie outbreak hit the country:
1. Pack the essentials. Water, food, and first-aid kit – anything that will ensure your survival.
2. Choose your weapon. Admit it. Zombies are not the most logical creatures. They will do anything – anything – to get a bite out of your flesh and brains. No matter how anti-violence we might be, sometimes, a trusty bat to swing away the undead is not so horrible.
3. A family that runs away from zombies together, stays together. Like any other calamity, it is better to set a meeting place with your family, in case you are separated.
4. Stay elevated. Because higher ground gives you a better advantage.
5. Avoid contact with zombies. AT. ALL. COSTS.
6. If all else fails, run – and run until you cannot run anymore.
