Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse (CDC)

I know this was 2011, but this blog is only a few months old. Following the recent Kansas Zombie Preparedness, it triggered my memory into remembering Preparedness 101. Just because it's 2011, doesn't mean it isn't still relevant.

The Centres For Disease Control And Prevention released a blog in order to guide us and help us be prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse.
