The CDC is tasked with tracking and informing the public about threats to health. In a blog posted on Monday, May 16, the head of the CDC provided suggestions for how to prepare for a zombie apocalypse. The advice contained in this post may come from a rather tongue-in-cheek place, but the advice is still something very real. Without preparing, a payday loan might not even be enough to save you. How often have you wanted additional information on where to findinstant online payday loans and turned to an internet search on quick payday loans no credit check?"

Centers for disease control recommend preparedness measures

The Centers for Disease Control makes suggestions on preparedness items to have around. This is based off the idea that a zombie apocalypse were to occur. If nothing else, these supplies will help you survive until you are able to "find a zombie-free refugee camp." Keeping one gallon of water per person, per day is recommended. Non-perishable food items, clothing, important documents, tools, first aid materials and other basic emergency preparedness items are essential to keep around. The recommendations also outline what the Centers for Disease Control would do in case of the zombie apocalypse -- mostly, investigate and try to offer assistance.



The Centers for Disease Control interest

It was a few months ago when the Centers for Disease Control director decided zombie apocalypse recommendations should be put out. He was in a web chat discussing Japans nuclear power troubles. He wanted to know if a zombie apocalypse in japan would be created from the nuclear leak. This was when Dr. Ali S. Kahn realized the idea of a zombie apocalypse had become widespread. Kahn is the head of the CDCs Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response. Dr. Khan loves Resident Evil. He is always attempting to find creative ways to let the public know what the CDC is all about and get the public prepared.



Pop culture used

Whether you are thinking about zombies or 2012 disaster, individuals are very worried. It has become a popular thing to be concerned about. The CDCs OPHPR has started putting out official recommendations since Dr. Khan took over in case a meteor strikes or there is a zombie strike. These things probably wont occur. It is more likely that there will be a flu outbreak or a tornado. Either way, however, the preparedness steps are essentially the same. By embracing common beliefs, live web chats, social media and public interaction, the CDC's preparedness office is helping put a new face on an organization many people hope to never have a reason to interact with.

nothing more annoying than children proclaiming they would easily handle a zombie situation cos they've played dead rising and cod. f*cking joke i hope if it does happen you're ripped to pieces.

OT: can't and won't happen, there's no way for zombies to exist. after a week or two flesh becomes to rotted that their teeth fall out. how do you expect a zombie with no teeth to bite you? basic biology.

gotta agree. I do believe there could become zombies, but I dont think it could be a massive outbreak. (if they dont run and if it isn't airborne)

In that sense of a zombie, yes there really isn't any way for it to happen.
However, in the 28 days later scenario they aren't strictly speaking 'zombies' but it's called a 'Rage virus' which basically makes you go into primal mode and start killing anything and biting people, which in turn infects them.

This is worse because in this scenario... the 'zombies' can run.

yeah i've seen 28 days/weeks later, similar to the infected in world war z...

still find that INCREDIBLY unlikely, you'd think this sort of this is kept under control. and would be handled well by the military.

This scenario is just even scary to think about. Imagine one of these infected human beings chasing you relentlessly with no regard for stamina.

I'd tire out eventually and just get murdered in the most brutal fashion.

You'd have to think there'd be no way to combat that this other than hiding and praying they die out on their own.
