FAQs

What should I do if zombies suddenly start chasing me?

If you suddenly find yourself being pursued by zombies, the first priority is to remain calm. Quickly assess the situation - are you faster than the zombies? Do you have an escape route? Is teaming up with others nearby a possibility? Once you understand your options, act decisively to get yourself to safety.

What skills would be most useful during a zombie apocalypse?

Useful skills in a zombie attack scenario include physical fitness to outrun the undead, weapons training to fight when necessary, outdoor survival skills, medical training, and self-defense tactics. Being able to thrive in a group by cooperating and playing to everyone's strengths is also extremely important.

Should I trip my friends to get away from zombies?

While the instinct for self-preservation may compel you to trip others to aid your own escape, this could decrease your chances of long term survival. Working together cooperatively with a team can increase safety and sustainabiity. Abandoning allies to save yourself temporarily could cost you down the road.

How can I prepare right now if a zombie outbreak is imminent?

Practical preparations include organizing disaster supply kits, establishing a survival network, preparing evacuation plans, learning useful tactical skills, and staying vigilant of CDC warnings. Pay attention to zombie outbreak drills and guidance so that you can react quickly.
