The CDC issued instructions on dealing with a "Zombie Emergency"!! These eggheaded morons don't have enough to do with dealing with REAL diseases and medical conditions without resorting to FAKE ones? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Over? What a waste of our money!! http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp Marty

Did you click on the green box that says.... "tell us what you think about this page"? If not, then maybe you should..... or if you feel the need, click on the red "Report An Emergency" button. I noticed the Zombie Survival Kit..... you know the typical emergency survival kit. No where in that kit does it indicate carrying a large caliber weapon for Zombie control or other necessary events. Personally, my emergency survival kit has that large caliber weapon (or tmore) listed first.... with a variety of ammunition as well.... I'll worry about the rest of that stuff when the time comes...

I concur, they consider themselves a big part of the national PC police. I read it and found it most entertaining (and telling) that in preparing for a zombie invasion, there was absolutely no mention of firearms..... let alone clubs. I guess they figure we'll all sit around the fire and sing cumbaya. (of course firearms are essential in any serious natural disaster) http://dvice.com/archives/2011/05/us-govt-release.php

Why would the CDC list carrying any type of firearm? They keep listing firearms as the public health threats.

I spent a lot of years working in Emergency Management and although this does technically fall under the "all hazards" approach to preparedness, I'm not loading up on 12 gauge shells just yet.

Because they are federally funded to advise the public on a variety of things including disaster preparedness.
And you can bet they have a really nice arsenal of firepower at their own disposal, probably including flame throwers.
Just another excessively PC federal agency in need of a serious housecleaning and asskicking.
I'm taking all the zombies I capture down to Atlanta as a gift to the CDC.

Well I am glad someone mentioned Flamethrowers, cause after you shoot a Zombie, who wants to waste
time burying the varmint.
A good old fashioned Zombie Bonfire is the ticket, just stay up wind.
I remember in the old days Zombies just sort of walked around and did dope.
Oh wrong kind of Zombie.
These a Bonified Government Certified Zombies.
I guess the Dept. of Labor will give them rights, like no hazing the Zombies while they are on duty.

Actually, I saw it for about a second on the news this morning but thought I had imagined it when it didn't come back on. Logged on to one of my firearms forums and there it was. I was stunned by the absurdity of it.

How many zombies were in the forecast ? Do I check the polls for that or do we have to wait until Nov 2012 to find out?

According to the CDC you have to take 1 gallon of water per person per day, food, hygiene items, clothes, sleeping stuff, etc. Everything but guns. They don't want you to hurt the zombies. They want to capture and quarantine them. Apparently the CDC hasn't watched any of the Walking Dead, Evil Dead, Resident Evil, or any of the countless other Zombies movies or they would know there is no capturing Zombies. You have to head shoot them.  Then again, is the CDC aware real Zombies are products of voodoo. ??? Marty

Replace zombie with "any natural or man made disaster" and it makes good sense. If your prepared to survive a zombie invasion.......your pretty well prepared for anything, for a little while.

Well, it is silly of them but in their defense they said the following There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. 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. also this... So what do you need to do before zombies…or hurricanes or pandemics for example, actually happen? First of all, you should have an emergency kit in your house. This includes things like water, food, and other supplies to get you through the first couple of days They are just trying to entertain the reader and broach the subject of preparedness at the same time. Have a sense of humor

In the early days of zombies (and to a degree, mummies) they were slow, shuffling creatures. They could be killed with a 38 or even 32. New and improved zombies can now run, climb, and really come at you. It takes at least a 45 auto or bigger to take them down. A shotgun is good properly loaded but hard to use in a situation of multible zombies attacking at once. A friend doesn't let a friend use a 9mm on a zombie. CDC won'd tell you this stuff. Marty is right, head shots only.

I fail to see how half a page of written text amounts to that much in the overall scheme of government waste, but perhaps your right. The money could have been used for something much more useful. Perhaps training the Philly PD or something. God knows they could use it.

Here is a Zombie specific repellent.  . I'm not quite sure what branch she's with, maybe the special Zombie squad. If this is a CDC uniform, at least they got one thing right.
