Zombies just like the AMC Walking Dead TV show are a huge hit with people and the federal government is tying into the viral movement with its own social media campaign.
FEMA uses its monthly conference call to discuss ZOMBIE Survival?
When the US Government's HSA, FEMA and CDC not only acknowledge but encourage preparation in response to a Zombie uprising my skin starts crawling... Especially when the subtext of the article is that the government will not be able to help for at least 10 days and make no mention of weapons, ammunition or self defense. As in every Romero genre story the government wants you to hide in the basement until "They" can help. Granted there is a bit of liability to worry about but would it hurt to define "Looting", "Property Rights", "Self Defense" and "Deadly Force" in declared emergency situations?
Last year the CDC published a series of tongue in cheek ZOMBIE PANDEMIC blog full of survival tips and educational visual aids at http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2011/05/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse/
