Preparedness 101: Zombie apocalypse

            Some people are prepared for any kind of danger out there no matter if it’s an earthquake or even a tornado. Like when Max Brooks says” if your house is not structurally ready for a zombie attack, various measures can be employed to fortify it”. He says that because the people who rent should start making changes now because you never know when a zombie apocalypse is going to happen. So for the people who aren’t prepared here are some tips to stay alive.

First, in this article “Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse” by Ali Kahn he states that everybody should be ready or prepared for a zombie apocalypse because you never know when it will happen. He states that to take an emergency kit with medications. Also bring all the things that help you stay alive like tools, clothing, bedding, and sanitations and hygiene. He says that “Pick a meeting place for your family to regroup in case zombies invade your home’’. He says that because in case your family or friends that you’re with all get split up then everyone would know where to go. Also have a list of emergency contact listed so in case if you get trapped or something calls the cops or someone so they can go help you. Another thing that khan says is “Plan your evacuation route. When zombies get hungry they won’t stop until they get food, which means you need to get out of town fast!” he says this because its true zombies don’t know when to stop so try to get out of town fast. Kahn says that not only would scientist be working to identify the cause and cure of the zombie outbreak, but CDC and other federal agencies would send medical teams and first responders to help those in affected areas.

Next in this pamphlet “how to survive the zombie apocalypse using science” by Dr.Bradley he states that knowhow and zombies react. He also talks about what and not what to do to help you survive. Another thing he talks about is the defect that they have like the slow moving zombies and easily distracted zombies. He says that to stay alive since the zombies have immunity to pain which means that they  don’t feel pain that don’t try to fight them cause they won’t feel it. Bradley says “use your head; cut off theirs!” he says that because if you want to survive you can’t take dumb move you have to outsmart the zombies. He also says cut their head off because that’s the only way for them die. Dr.Bradley said ‘’it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Unless it is a sprint then sprint!” He says this because when your running don’t try to waist all your breath and energy to out run the zombie, but if their close and almost going to get you then sprint as fast as you can.

Last in this article ‘’the zombie survival guide’’ by Max Brooks he tells you how to stay alive in your home and surrounding. He says that boarding the windows will only last about 24 hours. He also talks about that what type of guns to carry and also what attachments you should have on them. He states that what he should have for our household like gasoline generators and also fifteen emergency flare guns. Apartments are better than a house unless you have a tornado one, but its better because if you live upstairs the zombies are not hand coordinated so it would be hard for them to get up the stairs and also there’s a lot of people that live there so that means you’ll have more help. Brooks said ‘’once the private residence is secure, stockpiling for a siege must be undertaken.” He says this because when the house or apartment is secure to still be on guard because you never know what could happen. He also says “There is no telling how long it would take for help to arrive. There is no telling if help ever will. Always be prepared for a long siege. Never assume a quick rescue.” He says this because no one knows when help would come they just hope for it so have all the necessities you need to survive as long as you can.

Task One: Survival Basics.

In this article ‘’Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse’’ by Ali Kahn he states that everybody should be ready or prepared for a zombie apocalypse because you never know when it will happen. He states that to take an emergency kit with medications. Also bring all the things that help you stay alive like tools, clothing, bedding, and sanitations and hygiene. He says that ‘’ Pick a meeting place for your family to regroup in case zombies invade your home’’ so in case your family or the people you were with know where to go if you people get split up. Also have a list of emergency contact listed so in case if you get trapped or something call the cops or someone so they can go help you. Another way to be safe is to know your evacuation routes like if your house burns down to flames and zombies are going to attack you make sure you have gas in your car and have a hotel to go to so you could some rest. Kahn says that not only would scientist be working to identify the cause and cure of the zombie outbreak, but CDC and other federal agencies would send medical teams and first responders to help those in affected areas.
