My zombie plan would probably be something like this:  Because who doesn't know to aim for the head nowadays? Zombies are so well known that people would probably recognize them very quickly, and will have a pretty good idea of what to do. The outbreak would end with a few victims at most. |

Zombies are so well known that people would probably recognize them very quickly, and will have a pretty good idea of what to do. The outbreak would end with a few victims at most. Hmm. I suppose it would depend on the initial infection. If, say, a toxin was released into a stadium and infected thousands of people at once, then we'd have a problem. Even if it started with one person, no one would REALLY be able to shoot that first one in the head. Because there would be that initial feeling of, "Zombies aren't REAL, I would be killing a human being." Also I guess it would also depend on where in the world it starts. Some places don't have guns readily available, and I think even fewer people would be inclined to bash another person in the head. Not until they for-sure realize that zombies are real. |

Well... there are plenty of possibilities for this scenario. (It's also fitting I noticed this thread, whilst I play The Last of Us.
If we assume that by "Zombie," it is being implied that the dead have all risen from their graves, then I fear this would only be the beginning. Since the dead walking the earth has been touched upon by many a religion-- including the Bible, the Qur'an, etc., and they all share the fact that this is the beginning of the end of humanity, then you may as well get down on your knees and repent your sins if you are a follower.
... Or if you're not, go to the nearest bar, and drink yourself into a coma.*
*Only if you're of age. Otherwise, get your parents' permission to go on an End-of-World Bender. But who wants to do that with parents? Talk about awkward.
Anyways, I digress. The reason being, that there would be no chance of survival, as everyone will meet their end in this scenario-- regardless of preparedness.
If we are assuming the more modern, and rather worryingly, plausible scenario of a rapid viral-style outbreak, then the situation is slightly more hopeful. Slightly.
If you're in a city, or dense population zone, such as a suburban town, get out. Viruses spread more easily, when there's more hosts gathered neatly into one giant culture dish that was otherwise your hometown. You'll find yourself quickly overwhelmed by the infected, and fighting for your life over supplies by those who are not.
If you're in a rural setting, assume that every home is occupied, and everyone in said homes is named "Lester," and is probably armed with a 12-gauge shotgun or scoped .357 rifle, AND they're itching to try them out on people. If you have to raid a home for supplies, you assume all risks, and will likely find yourself or any companions you're with getting shot, in a symbolic act of lost humanity and regression to a Law of the Jungle mentality.
In my situation, I do really keep a small disaster preparedness kit in my home, which includes non-perishable foods, bottled water, some tools, and a couple 10 gallon Gerry cans for gasoline, for the car. Make sure your car is in good working order, and if you are having to escape a large population zone, drive super defensive, and stay alert. Your car may be your greatest chance of escaping the initial phase. As for where I go, well... I find an isolated area that is easy to defend, and use my wind-up radio to find an emergency signal, then assess the situation, and begin planning for survival for the long-term. I would attempt to make it to Alaska, or Wyoming. Two reasons: One, they are both the lowest population density per square mile in the U.S. Second, because of this population factor, there is more wild game available for subsistence hunting. This would maximize chances of survival.
Quite frankly, it took a lot of effort for me to type this out, so I might just forget about it, and join the horde.
Lastly, I leave you this Red vs. Blue quote:
Griff: So what's your Zombie Plan?
Doc: My what?
Griff: There's two kinds of people in this world, Doc. People who have Zombie Plans, and those who don't. We call those last ones "dinner."
