Because disaster can unexpectedly fall at any time, it is undoubtedly best to be prepared for any given situation. Now, it’s good that you know the drills in case of a building fire or a magnitude 9.5 earthquake, but do you think these knowledge are enough? Are you sure these knowledge are sufficient enough to protect you from let’s say a sudden world-wide zombie outbreak? I’m pretty sure you answered no, and you’re correct. When zombies run rampant on the streets, you can’t just duck, cover, and hold until it’s over. Different situations call for different measures, and here’s what you should do when these flesh-eating creatures start roaming the earth. Your number one priority is to secure your location. First, you have to find a place where …show more content…
If you feel that your house is insecure or you were caught off-guard while taking a walk, find a secure enough building, or better yet ask your generous neighbor to let you stay just for a night or until you can find a shelter of your own. Your second priority is to acquire weapons. It’s a great advantage to own a gun especially in dire times like these. Not only will it protect you from the zombies, but it will also act as defense against fellow survivors who would do anything to get food and resources. Also have a melee weapon ready; a piece of metal pipe or a pair of kitchen knives should always be handy in case you run out of ammunition. Next, you’ll have to find a way to acquire food. There’s a huge possibility that there are still zombie-free supermarkets nearby, so you better start searching. Canned foods are good, but the packaging might be a little too heavy, especially that you still have to bring them back to your shelter. When planning on bringing water back home, remember that the average active person consumes half a gallon per day for rehydration, and another half a gallon per day for sanitation and cleaning
And make sure you, your family, and/or coworkers know what the plan is and where the kit is kept. • The kit should include items like food and water, blankets, flashlight and batteries, candles and matches, and any other essentials that would be useful during/after an earthquake and include enough of each item to last for 72 hours. • You should also keep one of these kits in your
American Redemption Through Destruction In World War Z (2006), author Max Brooks depicts an apocalyptic "zombie" pandemic that terrorized the world. It went by many names, "The Crisis," "The Dark Years," "The Walking Plague," and "The Zombie War." The unknown narrator (assumed to be Brooks) structured the book in a series of vignettes in hopes of the personal attachment that will enable people to prevent repeating history. Through a book based on memories, Brooks challenges many flaws within the government and its people.
Americans built temporary fallout shelters in basements since the fallout from a nuclear attack can cause disease and death (Document 2). The shelters would prolong American’s lives in the event of a nuclear attack. The shelters would contain food, water, a radio, flashlights, and other necessities. Along with protection at home, children needed to have some form of protection at school. “Duck and Cover” drills were conducted at schools to ensure protection from air raids.

I would stock up on food and water, i have no idea how long this will last. Gathering as much food and water as I can. Surviving will be my number 1 priority. Next I will try and find a car, i need some sort of transportation. I think in a situation like this I would survive.
Although storms like Hurricane Katrina occur once in every one hundred years, being prepared and storing water, food, medicines, and other supplies keep families ready for any disaster. Natural disasters can leave communities without power for days and even for weeks. Being prepared in the event of severe weather and disasters like Hurricane Katrina, can reduce fear and anxiety that accompanies disasters. A crucial element of self-sufficient living is survival. Our government does not have all the resources to be totally prepared to take care of the vast numbers of people in a disaster.
Supplies are needed Every house should have a "zombie kit" that consists of food, water, medication, , duct tape, a radio, clothes, first-aid supplies and weapons of mass destruction. Water, food and weapons are the three most valuable things one will need to
Speaking of zombies, makes us think. What if this were to happen in a few years, I would like to be prepared. I live in California, home of earthquakes. When family and friends visit, I am always asked if I have the necessary essentials in case a big earthquake hit. I sadly say no.
In Katrina’s Wake: National Guidance Throughout the history of the United States Military, historians recorded the heroic actions of Soldiers, Airman, Sailors, and Marines that won countless battles in various conflicts around the world. In modern times, the role of the military changed drastically, especially in regards to the military’s role within natural disasters. Therefore, a National Guidance of Preparedness was developed, which reinforces response readiness and provides guidelines for the sharing of responsibility between all levels of government. After a review of the actions in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2006, federal, state, and local governments aided in the development of the guidelines, which shape and support preparedness

(Background Essay) Citizens did their best to get the word out that they were intensely struggling to survive. (Doc B)
Emergency management describes the process of preparing for disasters, responding to their occurrence and putting in place both structural and nonstructural measures to mitigate against them. Emergency management has come a long way in terms of evolution in the United States of America. In terms of evolution, there have been a number of changes with evidence in shift from state to federal and local involvement in disaster management. This paper will thus discuss the evolution of emergency management as well as the lessons that have come as a result of this evolution. The evolution can be traced back to the biblical times, Moses himself tried to manage floods by splitting the Red Sea (George et al, p. 1).
No one knows when the rain will stop or when they will be able to leave the house. Trying to save the food and only eating enough to make sure you are not hungry, you struggle.

Their is going to be a fight. To survive a zombie apocalypse, first find a big hunting bag then pack materials in the hunting bag and settle off away to protect yourself from zombies. To avoid these hideous creatures, go to a place where there is less population to where I will settled to is Pine Ridge, South Carolina which has less that 3,000 people. Second, the habitat to your destination will have a amount of resources for survival. Third, the animals that are endangered will have a habitat that is well maintained, the animals will have lots of food to survive.
On the first few days of that outbreak, finding food, a place to stay, and protection would be a main priority. Playing it safe would also be important, because you would not want to risk anything that could get you hurt or killed by a zombie during the outbreak.. After this (depending on where the outbreak goes and how it continues to spread) moving to a new spot and finding tools would be more priorities to consider.
