"There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e," wrote Dr. Ali S. Khan, a specialist in infectious disease, in the latest update on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Matters blog.
The first step in preparing for a zombie attack — or for that matter a hurricane or pandemic — is to put together an emergency kit. "This includes things like water, food and other supplies to get you through the first couple of days before you can locate a zombie-free refugee camp," Khan wrote.
