CDC Prepares Citizens for Zombie Apocalypse (and Other Disasters)

The CDC has taken a tongue-in-cheek approach to getting more citizens prepared for emergencies. In their recent blog post Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse, the agency shares tips for being prepared should the dead rise and roam the streets...as well as for emergencies that could actually happen.

Whether it's a zombie, a hurricane or a pandemic, the same basic preparedness rules apply (with the exception of finding something sharp with which to behead zombies, of course):

• Keep a stocked emergency kit on hand
• Develop an emergency plan
• Trust that the CDC will conduct an investigation and provide assistance
