WHAT IS A ZOMBIE? INFECTED:
NeurovirusNeurotoxinNeurofungusNeural NanobotsNeural Parasite
DANGEROUS PROPERTIES:AggressionHunger for fleshPain tolerance, lack of self-preservationLack of sentiencyExceptional strength/speed (sometimes)Nonfunctional organ systems (sometimes)

Learn how to kill
Process of Elimination:1) Torso—It’s Easy2) Head—Hard, but Likely3) Heart4) Lots of Fire—effective, but resource-
taxing

Estimate Intellect
Series of Tests:1) Can it Open a Door?2) Does it Wander, or Hunt?3) Alone, in a Large/Small Group?4) What senses Does it Rely Upon?5) Susceptible to Fear?6) Does it Take Small Animal Bait?

Pathogen Matters
If Parasite…Parasite should be attacked.Removal may be Cure.
If Viral…Probably still needs vital organs
If Nano-Bots…Utilize radiation or magnetism
If Fungal…It is airborne! Cover Face.
If Toxic…Probably Dies Like Normal Animal

TRANSMISSION MATTERS Generally: Avoid Carcasses IF BLOODBORNE:
Protect extremities from bites. IF BODY LIQUID-BORNE:
Same as above. IF WATERBORNE:
Stay very dry; drink bottled water IF AIRBORNE:
Cover face; gas mask?ASSUME YOU ARE INFECTED.

ZOMBIE COMBAT/TACTICSMOST IMPORTANTLY:
KNOW WHEN TO RUNYOU ARE TRYING TO SURVIVE○ Not TRYING TO KILL ZOMBIES○ NOT TRYING TO SAVE HUMANITY ALONE
COMBAT IS A LAST-RESORT○ But probably a common one○ Fight to clear paths to safety○ Combat is exhausting

Superior positioning
High ground…unless they can climb.
Choke points, tunnelsAlways have an exit—this is not the
Alamo.
The danger of open space Stay away from shadows/nooks

Ranged techniques
Know your firearc Keep track of ammunition Communicate with teammates
Give teammates time to reload Fall back in waves Discharging draws attention—vacate
afterwards Conserve ammunition
Prioritize threatsConcentrate on moving, not shooting
Fire slow and well: keep your cool.

SURVIVAL
Goal: Get to a safe place with other people and supplies
Strategy depends on depth of crisis1) outbreak2) martial law3) societal collapse
If you might be a vector, self-quarantine

Depart
Leave urban areas quicklyThey will be total chaos and death
Note current season and prepare Head for water and board a boat
Make sure it is wind-powerableThen, look for an island
Otherwise, head for wildernessLook for army bases, barracks, etcGps satellites should still work!Make reasonable self-quarantine period
Have a planned destinationPrepare for combatAvoid exhaustion

Establish
Create a long-term living space Island should be sustainable
Plants and animals to hunt/foragePotential for farms if soil is good
Bunker should have stores for yearsNon-perishable foodsFuel for generators
Electricity would be niceUnlikely…

Maintain
Initiate patrols or surveillanceLook for incoming zombies/survivorsMake sure to quarantine survivors
If resource stores are low…Conduct careful raidsLook to fuel depots, wal-mart, grocery storesMove quickly, take what is necessary, fleeMake sure zombies do not follow
Maintain moraleKeep exhaustion and despair from taking over
Improve defensesBuild physical barriers

Maximize safe territoryIdentify any local zombie pocketsLook for resources / farmland
Stay up to date with endemicAre zombie numbers diminishing?Do they seem to be dying naturally?

Communicate
When contact is established:Learn locations of other coloniesLearn status of other coloniesCreate expanded plan
Expanded plan – New CivilizationFind single location able to support all○ Should be safe, climate-friendly, farmable
Identify inventories and assign cargoesPrepare Exodus to new civilization siteSet up new authority and assignmentsTry to preserve mass of human knowledge
