Given the resources you have at your disposal in your home, how would you survive? Let's assume that the zombies are starting to take over the world similar to the situation at the beginning of the movie Dawn of the Dead (2004). Also, let's assume that the zombies would eventually die off on their own in a few months or so.
The most creative and thorough answer will win Best Answer. Good luck, and watch out for those zombies!

Great! I like a lot of the responses so far. I will give it another day before I make a decision.

My priorites would be to
1. Safety- barracade my house and do everything I can to ensure the safety of people around me and myself. I would probably barracade my house with people who are not infected inside-full body scans
-tear up the house and use boards and nails to cover windows and doors-make an access to the roof to ensure they can't climb up and do surveillance
2. Food and Water check- decide how long me and my friends can survive inside the house based on the supplies we have-we will not assume that running water will be safe or availiable.
3. decide at what point we will need to venture of and find more food and water.
If we had to venture out i would do it on foot with a backpack, using a car would draw too much attention. I would check thier night vison and hearing from by the roof by throwing rocks in thier direction and seeing how close they come to look at a bush to see if there was someone there. I would try to learn how smart they were and how strong by developing tests from my roof top.

II'd stock supplies (water, food, guns, ammo, med stuff) up in my attic, and then destroy the stairs so they can't climb up, and live there for as long as I can. If I had to move, there is someone's summer house right next to my house that I could move into. Bring any remaing supplies, do a quick search for supplies in his house, move up into their attic and destroy the stairs again. Repeat as nessessary. I live in a rural area with only 100 or so people, so there won't be many zombies around, and zombies further away wouldn't be likely to come here.
If for some reason I had to venture out into more populated areas, I'd travel on foot. I'd keep my party small (three to four members only) because larger groups have a higher chance of atracting zombies and don't increase defense all that much. (Zombies are slow and stupid, it takes few people to kill many of them) During the first week of an outbrake, I would avoid large shops, hospitals, and police departments. Everyone thinks to go there, and that's why I'd stay away. It wouldn't be some safe haven with an organized form of government. It would be total chaos. There would be so many scared people running around, looking for anything they can steal, I have a better chance of geting shot for the can of food I just picked up than being eaten by a zombie.

I would go into my house, a convienent 2,000 sq foot, square building. id lock the door, and fill the downstairs portion with cement. Then I would help refugees in, but only healthy, gun using ones. I would establish a perimiter with snipers on the window, and on the roof. We'd continually pick down any zombie that approached. Also, assuming the virus was spread like in the Zombie Survival Guide (same basic way as rabies) we'd have long swords in the event close range combat was required. In the even the zombies breached the perimeter, I would use my helicopter to escape. And as for why i didn't use the copter first, it's because shooting zombies is fun. So tht's my plan.

First
I would use the Internet to advise the papers that this is happening in hopes that they would send help.
Second
I would gather all the people I know (the more the stronger) and go and stock up on the essentials making sure to provide for the smallest amongst us.
Ask all the people who are going to the warehouse to bring coolers and ice and some form of heat as we may lose power.
I would then take the supplies to the warehouse (where I work) making sure that the people that are already there had followed my orders on how to secure the location using the storage bins we have to block all the doors and windows.
I would notify the police of how many people were in this location and email their names so that if anyone was looking for them they would know they are safe.
I would also ask them to bring games to play as worrying all the time will make us crazier than the zombies so we have to have distractions. Then set up centres in the warehouse you can go to for different activities so that you do not feel confined to one area.
And last
I would have constant and never ceasing prayer to keep the evil away from the door.

It's a simple solution, snatch up a vehicle that can take its fair share of damage, and get the necessary weapons to combat the undead. Your stereotypical weapons would be a must-have. And remember if all else fails, use your fists to punch and your feet to kick.
It's also very key to realize that the top priority is not to get bitten if you plan to stay alive. But I wouldn't mind becoming a zombie so this wouldn't be that big of a deal to me. I would love to be a zombie.

I would arm myself with a kitchen knife, a can opener, and a mop (for those messy, bloody accidents you know as well as a head bashing tool) and then I'd hop in my car, throw my kitties in the back where they'll be safe and head out to the country. First of all I'd break into a Wal-Mart and steal a bunch of canned goods and wine before I headed out into the country. My aunt and Uncle have a storm shelter that I would lock myself, my hubby, and my kitties up in for the appropriate period of time, eating only canned peaches and green beans (don't like them cold, but oh well) and loading up on White Zin. Then I'd bust out and start civilization over with my hubby.

1.take the car and run
2.go to the nearest gun shop and steal all the guns and ammo you nead
3.find or build a one way concrete bunker to store food and live inside[One way home is flaud,its is only to concentrate your firepower at one place instead of shooting all places..there won't be a exit cause it's one way...]
4.build a trap in front of the door
5.prepare to live inside for a long long long time
6.pray that the people outside find a cure or find one yourself
7.when almost out of ammo then better find a car,ship or plane to get the hek out of there and find another place.
8.Basically your already in a dead end so might as well take a gun and just shoot urself or find a cure like i already said.
9.If possible go to a different country and find a cure there

I'd grab my backpack and stuff it with can goods and bottled water while sheathing a Butcher knife on the side of my leg. I'll also bring a copy of the Zombie survival guide. I have no guns so I'll have to Recon to the gun store two blocks from my house. Alright this is where my House of the dead skills come into play. ohhh mann!!! the bloodshed to mall!!!
Once I get to the mall, Glory awaits as I proceed with operation Dead Rising!!!

My town has an airport, air force base (Hah, take that!) military men, underground nukes, and forests. I'd head for my brothers first who's a Major and well-armed. He'd take us into the air base and we could grenade, shoot, bomb, run over, target practice as many zombies as we could handle in an hour! In fact with the artillery available here, we'd wipe them out before they had a chance to die off.

I'd run and put on a change of clean underwear. I don't know what good that would do when facing zombies, but it seemed to be my mother's solution to every messy situation.
