What is your game plan if you're sitting where you are now and suddenly there's a news flash about a zombie outbreak downtown or some where close?

What do you think would be the cause and outcome of this occurance?

    This is one of my favorite topics, LOL! I told my boyfriend that "defend eachother during zombie apocalypse" will be in our wedding vows.

    If it is clearly not a hoax, I would quickly call my friends and family. Set up a meeting point. Arm-up at home, back up supplies grab a boat(I live 2 min walking from the lake and wait there.

    That scenerio is the exact reason why I work out now! Rule 1: Fitness! Heavier people who can't run fast are the first to go! ;)

    I LOVE the idea of that being in the wedding vows. I'd throw in something like "and if you're bitten, I promise to shoot you in the head before you turn then run like hell"

    My plan? Gather as many guns and ammo as I can and play target practice with zombies' heads. >:D

    Cause... The Umbrella Corp's stupid experiments escaped the hive and the outcome... :/ Chaos, panic and like moths to the flame, people flocking to areas considered safe but in actuality... aren't.

    We have a plan in place should this ever happen. Location, shelter, water, food and amunition/defense/weapons included.
    My Son and BF are total Zombie nuts, it's all they talk about. We are also semi prepers (not as nuts as the ppl on tv lol) but they do make good points.

    Zombies are really the only legitimate reason to get in shape. Fact.

    Plant sunflowers all around my house to give me lots of sun and then set up mole mines, triple shooters, tallnuts all over the place.

    Oh, and butter launchers.

    I think of this exact scenario way too often.
    1. Grab my bug out bag(s) and load them in the car while calling my husband to meet at local library.
    2. Gather all water and non-perishable foods that will fit in a laundry basket. Load in car.
    3. Secure kids in car.
    4. Get the fugg to the library. Find a good hiding spot.
    5. Check Ipad for latest news. Post on FB that *kitten* just got real!!

    Pretty much have an escape plan for everywhere I go. Where I work has a basement that is only accessible by one cluttered entrance. We have food, water and a generator that can run for a week. We are low on weapons, but if we barricade in correctly, we won't need them. I usually think ladder access only roof, and then remove ladder, because I can't see zombies properly using one on their own. Although it would be secluded, there is limited shelter and access to supplies.

    Hmmm I live in south florida. So I would probably cut through everglades national park (low population) til I get pass some of out more populated areas then head the hell out of florida. I do not like being surrounded by water on 3 sides if I'm trying to escape the enemy. Head some place up north that is rural and has mountains. hole out with my friends (after raiding walmart for every ammo and other supply need) and boobie trap the crap out of the place ,

    Agreed. I plan on doing that run next year. Would this year minus some more important financial obligations.

    I'm LOVING some of these answers. My boyfriend and mines plan is to avoid anywhere more people will be drawn to. I.E. the ammo/gun shops, walmarts, etc. We have a few swords on hand, wooden as well as a regular blade will dull after so long (that's the melee of choice) and we both agree on bows and arrows as arrows can be reobtained after a kill and can be fashioned if totally out and will require the least amount of trips out in a town for ammo. However, having a pistol for situations where you don't have the time to ready an arrow and go would be great too.

    After that, it's just finding somewhere "safe" for shelter. My guess is that zombies will have issues in the water, so finding maybe an island, or a fort on the island would be great. For us, it'd be fort delaware. I'd LOVE to go to the alcatraz though... bet that'd be pretty great defense in a situation like that.

    Food and water are the next things. I have no problems hunting, but the concern would be would a zombie virus infect animal meat? In that case, it'd be cautious trips out with the quietest, quickest people possible. I'd want a small group of people I can trust, as well as people who can keep calm and not act out of stupidity.

    I'd go north with a machete, a .22, and a bow and arrow, a backpack of camping supplies. Stay mobile in the wilderness where the population is smaller with the fam.

    Doesn't cutting through Everlade National Park mean avoiding Zombies only to be eaten by Alligators?

    How I LOVE that game!

    I DO work downtown and already am surrounded by zombies. 12 guage shotgun is under my desk. The credenza behind me is actually a well stocked arsenal...I'm ready! Bring it!

    Not if you know how to do it. Aviod still water and use an airboat. Gators arent near as agressive as most people think. Well as long as you aviod them during mating season.
    There are plenty of trails and route in the park that completely biapass the gators. And besides gator tails is yummy. I'm more worried about being eaten alive by mosquitoes

    I know I want to get a massive game of human vs. zombies going for like a weekend out in a wooded park area. I think that'd be freaking fun. Have people do their scenarios and practice. I know one thing, I def. want someone who is good with basic and more advanced first aid!

    Break into the Army Reserve Armory down the hill, load up on everything I could pack onto the top of a water tanker truck. Head to the 5 tunnels by Lake Mead, learn to like fish or die.

    Makes me wonder what life was like before the thoughts of zombies attacking... zombie survival is more fun to talk about then what to do in case of fire.

    Chase them down :) I have a nice light pump-action shotgun so it's easy to run with, and my melee weapon of choice is easily a samurai sword - cut through those *****es like hot buttah!

    I prefer pistols myself >.> <.< Just gotta make sure there are enough mags to handle a serious influx of zombies XD Though I would totally jack my brother's samurai sword for when I ran out of bullets lol.

    I'd honsetly just save anything loud for when it's kind of a "There's no way I can load my bow or swing this sword and kill enough before I'm screwed" situation. Wouldn't want the sound making it worse. If I HAD to though because the sucker was too close, I gurantee I'd be booking it in any direction right after.

    If it happened at work?
    1: Call wife and get her to grab the "B" bags and meet me at the Toy Store (I have a stand alone garage in an industrial park about 15 miles from home. Built to withstand a CAT 5 Hurricane)

    2: Drive myself towards the toy store however, make a pit stop at Gander Mountian. Since we are in a SHTF situation, I don't care about robbing the place so I will grab a few 12 gauges, a few AR-15's, a few 9MM pistols, a few compound bows, and all of the ammunition for all weapons that I can fit in whatever vehicle I have at the time.

    3: Meet at the toy store and both vehicles go in the garage. Set up a hasty defensive perimiter, get the food sorted out (I have an absolute TON of water, rice, and beans at the toy store already), and adopt a "wait and see" mentality.

    Unfortunitally, it is not only zombies I need to worry about. It is other survivors who might want my stuff.
