Zombies

At first I thought it was a joke...but it's not:

CDC (Centers for Disease Control) Recommends Preparing for All Disasters -- Even Zombies

You can get the full run down on Yahoo News

Normal natural disasters are floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes and being prepared for disaster means being ready for any type of emergency -- including zombies. On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention blogged about preparing for disaster and reminded readers that in the event of a zombie apocalypse, basic preparedness will help even if there are flesh-eaters roaming.

According to the CDC blog, if a zombie apocalypse breaks out, the CDC will investigate the event just like they would any other disease outbreak. CDC investigation and assistance would include "consultation, lab testing and analysis, patient management and care, tracking of contacts, and infection control (including isolation and quarantine)." Just like any other disease outbreak, the CDC would try to determine where and how the outbreak started and would make every effort to determine how to best deal with an outbreak of zombies.

So, even the CDC has a sense of humor! I give them credit for a very tongue-in-cheek way of getting the message of Emergency Preparedness out there!
