Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse

by Tracey

I thought I’d talk about something real today, but instead I’ll just let the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention* do it for me. (Click to enlarge each section.)

Excuse my while I pack my zombie repellent.

How will you survive the zombie Apocalypse?

Also, check out my guest post on Healthy Living Blogs: How to craft a great disclaimer statement. I promise funny animations.

*For the original disaster preparedness article (and, no, I’m not making this up) click here. Hey, at least the folks over at the CDC have a sense of humor.

Seriously…the only thing they have going for them is the sheer quantity of zombies that would be out there.

Everyone thinks the world is gonna end tomorrow. THEY ARE CRAZY! But the thought of zombies taking over…that’s a possibility.

How cool is the CDC for doing this? I didn’t know about it–so of course I had to learn more. Apparently it was a success, so if this gets people to be more aware, it’s great.

This was a genius move on their part.

At least you would have died blissfully unaware.

I have to show this to my fiancé!we are always talking about what we will do in the event of a zombie apocalypse. I will actually start getting depressed because I think about how I can’t run. I always say I will be the first to go. then I realize I am getting depressed about something that’s not really going to happen. Ha ha. When I start saying that,he says he will carry me everywhere.

My husband and I have the same exact conversation!!! (About fires, too.) I say I’ll be the first to go…go on, safe yourself. He says he’ll carry me. Hehe. We’ve also discussed what would happen if we came across a vampire. I say I’d get bitten because vampires aren’t in constant pain. I’d have my body back…for centuries.
