The CDC Emergency Preparedness and Response for Zombie Apocalypse

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the CDC's humorous yet practical approach to emergency preparedness using a zombie apocalypse theme.

The conversation also emphasizes the importance of having a family meeting place for emergencies, whether from a zombie invasion or natural disasters like hurricanes. Participants suggest that marketing disaster kits with a zombie theme could effectively engage younger audiences in emergency preparedness.

Seriously. Wait--what?

If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states, or international partners dealing with a zombie infestation. This assistance might include consultation, lab testing and analysis, patient management and care, tracking of contacts, and infection control (including isolation and quarantine).

Could come in handy after tomorrow. Isn't tomorrow judgement day?

Actually, that's kind of a cute ad for the CDC and emergency preparation.
 
Excellent way to get their message across ..

First Aid supplies (although you’re a goner if a zombie bites you, you can use these supplies to treat basic cuts and lacerations that you might get during a tornado or hurricane)

Pick a meeting place for your family to regroup in case zombies invade your home…or your town evacuates because of a hurricane. Pick one place right outside your home for sudden emergencies and one place outside of your neighborhood in case you are unable to return home right away.
 
I bet if they marketed disaster kits for the Zombie Apoc. they would get more kits in homes. It's actually a pretty good idea to coax younger people into being prepared.
 
I hate zombies !:eek::eek::eek:
 
Psh. Zombies. Wait, what's that moaning behind me?
