If you are reading this, you are a survivor


But that is not enough; you need to know what to do in case of some contingency or a zombie attack.

For such reasons the Center for Disease Control andResponse, by the hand of Dr. Ali S. Khan, posted in their website a guide that will prepare you for a Zombie Apocalypse.


Yeah, the idea sounds crazy and funny, but the real propose for CDC is spreading the word about how to prepare for natural disasters like tornadoes, earthquakes, or some inundation.  

*The idea original came from a staff who noticed an upsurge in Twitter traffic about zombies being mentioned on Japan and the radiation. Also, It was So much the psychosis, with the doomsday prophesy, that there was said that the end of the world would be related with a zombies attack.

The CDC advices that every home should have an emergency kit that includes, one gallon of water per person, food, medications, tools and supplies, sanitation and hygiene items, clothing and bedding, important documents and 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).

The CDC also advised to pick a meeting place for your family to regroup, make an emergency contact list, and plan an evacuation route. *extracted from CDC website

 “If you’re ready for a zombie apocalypse, you’re ready for anything. And that’s what we hope catches on,” said Angela Cimilluca, an Oswego County Health Department Public Health Educator.

No doubt that the idea is genial and really gets people attention.  At least if we are not under a zombie attack, we already are informed how to deal in case of natural disaster.

Because you are already informed, you can save the next famous quote from Private Hudson, Aliens 1986 for another occasion in which you don’t know what to do:
That's it man, game over man, game over! What the f… are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?
