[quote:Anonymous Coward 1391928:MV8xNDk3NDQ5XzI0NjcxOTM1XzNDOUFCNTg0] [b]Social Media: Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse[/b] http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp So what do you need to do before zombies…or hurricanes or pandemics for example, actually happen? 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 natural disaster, 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 CDC Emergency page. •Water (1 gallon per person per day) •Food (stock up on non-perishable items that you eat regularly) •Medications (this includes prescription and non-prescription meds) •Tools and Supplies (utility knife, duct tape, battery powered radio, etc.) •Sanitation and Hygiene (household bleach, soap, towels, etc.) •Clothing and Bedding (a change of clothes for each family member and blankets) •Important documents (copies of your driver’s license, passport, and birth certificate to name a few) •First Aid supplies (although you’re a goner if a zombie bites you, you can use these supplies to treat basic cuts and lacerations that you might get during a tornado or hurricane) [/quote]
Original Message
Americans are being asked to prepare themselves for possibly the most dangerous situation imaginable: a zombie apocalypse.

[...]
The CDC designed the campaign based on a passing comment about zombies and the seeping nuclear material from the Fukushima plant in tsunami-devastated Japan. [...]
