How to prepare for the next zombie Invasion
You may already be prepared for natural disasters; you have your stash of food, flashlights, matches, etc. But are you prepared to stave off the next zombie invasion? Know your enemy! Zombies are not an overly intelligent bunch; they are slow moving and clumsy. Generally speaking, you stand a good chance of out running one. However, they do have a keen sense of smell, and you could be easily overwhelmed by a hungry mob. Its best to find a safe place to hunker down and try to hold them off until the problem is resolved.
Zombies, also known as the “undead” feed off of human flesh; they can also infect a human by biting them, the infection from there bite will turn the human into a zombie. Early symptoms of the infection include, fever, chills, headaches and general flu like symptoms. Within three to six hours the victim of a bite will slip into a coma, and complete the transformation into a zombie. If a friend, or loved one, is bitten, don’t let them live! As soon as an infected human changes into a zombie they will start hunting for food.
Should you find yourself in the company of zombies you will need to know how to kill them. Experts agree the proper way to disable a zombie is to sever the spinal cord, or destroy the brain. This can be accomplished with a common house hold item that can be used as a bludgeoning device. It should be something that is easily excisable and fits comfortably in your hand; find something that is portable and light weight. Crowbars are very effective, but you may find their weight tiring when battling an undead army. You may also want to stay away from items that use ammunition or fuel, as they can run out at the precise moment you need them; if you choose to use a traditional weapon such as a gun or chain saw just make sure you have a back up.
Spend some time thinking about the best way to fortify your house. If you have a lot of ground level windows you will need a way to reinforce them. Some homes are not suited for this kind of defense, so you may consider seeking refuge at another location. You might need to talk to your neighbors a head of time to determine the safest place to stave off the invasion. However be prepared that this plan may change if you neighbors are bitten or have already turned into Zombies. In case you are not home when the dead rise to plague the earth; make plans with your family to meet somewhere. It’s a good idea to surround yourself with non-infected Humans. If you can gather a large enough group commandeer, and fortify a box store. There you will have plenty of food, medical supplies, clean cloths, entertainment, and plenty of items in the sporting goods section to outfit everyone with a weapon.
Keep in mind you are now responsible for the survival for the human kind. Like any wide spread plague it will take time to be resolved. Keep a level head, and high spirits. If you find the thought of smashing in the brains of your undead neighbor disturbing, it will come naturally in the heat of the moment. You only have to hold out till ZEMA (Zombie Emergency Management Agency) arrives to destroy the undead on slot.

May I say you have waaay to much time on your hands!
It was a paper I had to wight last year.
Still doesn't make me feel better about the impending zombie apocolypse. I think I will stick to using an aluminum baseball bat or my husband's katana if this happens in my lifetime.
