www.foxnews.com/health/2011/05/18/cdc-warns-public-prepare-zombie-apocalypse/?test=latestnewsCDC Warns Public to Prepare for 'Zombie Apocalypse'By Joshua Rhett Miller Published May 18, 2011 Are you prepared for the impending zombie invasion? That's the question posed by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention in a Monday blog posting gruesomely titled, " Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse." And while it's no joke, CDC officials say it's all about emergency preparation. "There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for," the posting reads. "Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you'll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency." The post, written by Assistant Surgeon General Ali Khan, instructs readers how to prepare for "flesh-eating zombies" much like how they appeared in Hollywood hits like "Night of the Living Dead" and video games like Resident Evil. Perhaps surprisingly, the same steps you'd take in preparation for an onslaught of ravenous monsters are similar to those suggested in advance of a hurricane or pandemic. "First of all, you should have an emergency kit in your house," the posting continues. "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)." Other items to be stashed in such a kit include medications, duct tape, a battery-powered radio, clothes, copies of important documents and first aid supplies. "Once you've made your emergency kit, you should sit down with your family and come up with an emergency plan," the posting continues. "This includes where you would go and who you would call if zombies started appearing outside your doorstep. You can also implement this plan if there is a flood, earthquake or other emergency." The idea behind the campaign stemmed from concerns of radiation fears following the earthquake and tsunami that rocked Japan in March. CDC spokesman Dave Daigle told FoxNews.com that someone had asked CDC officials if zombies would be a concern due to radiation fears in Japan and traffic spiked following that mention. "It's kind of a tongue-in-cheek campaign," Daigle said Wednesday. "We were talking about hurricane preparedness and someone bemoaned that we kept putting out the same messages." While metrics for the post are not yet available, Daigle said it has become the most popular CDC blog entry in just two days. "People are so tuned into zombies," he said. "People are really dialed in on zombies. The idea is we're reaching an audience or a segment we'd never reach with typical messages." Click to read the posting at CDC.gov.

Now that's funny. All I can add is if you are preparing for Zombie Apocalypse remember ***BOOM*** Head shot.
Works for killing animals to eat during natural disasters if you have no meat.

I'm all for preparedness, but what an odd approach. Let's hope they don't know something we don't know!! New flu season coming up-- let's see what they have cooked up for us this year...... ;D

Hey you think there are not zombies. Just ride down the streets of SF about midnight and you will see them flopped against every lamp post and door way. Zonked out of their minds and diddling with their penises because they were not circumcised. ;D

HM2, midnight is way too early. You have to cruise at no sooner than 2:00 am to find the real freaks.

Does this mean that the CDC has been using our tax dollars for zombie research?

We all joke, but all that needs to happen in an outbreak of mad cow-tainted meat and everyone who contracts Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease will turn into a zombie. It's real, people. Beware the zombie apocalypse!
