Zombie Blog: 1st Zombie Sightings

*This is Fiction* The evening news reports "zombie" sightings in Northern California.

***This is FICTION. This earthquake and zombies aren’t real,
but the emergency preparedness and flu prevention messages are.***

Forget the earthquake on Oct. 18, the evening news just reported “zombie” sightings in Solano and Contra Costa Counties.  This MUST be a stunt by fans of the “Walking Dead.”  Some people take Halloween too far!

But I have to admit it's fun to think about a zombie invasion.  Seriously, what would YOU do if the zombies were coming?  One option is to shelter in place: secure your space, lock the doors and throw away the keys!  This would only work during a zombie invasion if you have a lot of emergency supplies together in advance, so you’d better get ready NOW!

If sheltering in place isn’t going to work the next best option is to evacuate, just like during a flood or fire.

Zombies?!  What’s next, “Twilight” the invasion of moody teenage vampires?
