PREPAREDNESS 101: ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE
Thesis: prepare for zombie apocalypse / real situation. Have a emergency kit ready for a disastrous situation these are the following items needed for an emergency kit: water, food, medications, tools, supplies, sanitation, and hygiene, clothing and bedding, important documents and first aid supplies. "...To get you through the first couple of days before you can locate a zombie-free refugee camp..."Have an emergency plan so if you are not around your friends and family pick a meeting place to meet up at if a disaster happens one outside your home and one outside your neighborhood, retrieve emergency contacts like police, firemen, or the local zombie response team. ID possible threats in your own area. " Plan your evacuation route. When zombies are hungry they wont stop till they get food..."CDC is prepared for any disaster, tracking of contacts and infection control, learn how the infection/virus/toxin was transmitted. They provide technical assistance,investigates virus/outbreak and attempt to find cures. "If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak."
