FEMA /CDC in US promoting 'Zombie apocalypse' preparedness

[desertman]

The CDC - 'Center for Disease Control and Prevention' in the States - is promoting the idea of preparedness by marketing a 'zombie apocalypse' theme

Wonder why Zombies, Zombie Apocalypse, and Zombie Preparedness continue to live or walk dead on a CDC web site? As it turns out what first began as a tongue in cheek campaign to engage new audiences with preparedness messages has proven to be a very effective platform. We continue to reach and engage a wide variety of audiences on all hazards preparedness via Zombie Preparedness; and as our own director, Dr. Ali Khan, notes, "If you are generally well equipped to deal with a zombie apocalypse you will be prepared for a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake, or terrorist attack." So please log on, get a kit, make a plan, and be prepared!

Having lived and worked in the U.S for 4 years before returning to this great land, i have seen first hand what state the U.S is in. To be honest they are in a bad place at the moment and FEMA know this, they are gearing up for civil unrest across the country and ecconomic chaos for years to come,so that is why FEMA have put it across in a light hearted way for the public to start preparing for zombies[ i hate the term ] but in fact it is to prepare for meltdown of social and ecconomic colapse
