Answer 2

How to survive a zombie attack, from Kuro5hin
If I was famous, I'd be asked all sorts of inane questions like, "What tv shows are you watching?" (Deadwood, now that Carnivale is in between seasons). Perhaps the poker press would want to know my 1 table Sit N' Go strategy. (Don't draw to any hand for the first three levels, and if you want, wash your dishes during that time if you can also keep an eye on the computer while you're doing it.)

But I'm not famous, which means I'm going to tell you something about myself for no good reason.

I love apocalyptic film. I love to see civilization destroyed. Note that I said civilization, not the physical planet we live on. And one of the best apocalyptic genres, in my opinion, is the zombie film.

Where else do they ruin the world and toss in the ever present threat of gruesome death? Zombie films rock, with my ties for a favorite being "28 Days Later" and the remake of "Dawn of the Dead". "28 Days Later" has one of the best music/suspense arcs I've ever watched, and if you get a chance, watch the scene where Jim breaks into the military mansion to rescue Selena and listen carefully to the soundtrack. The slow build creates an amazing amount of tension that becomes taut when Selena and Jim nearly kill each other.

So, with that in mind, I suggest you read "How to survive a zombie attack", over Kuro5hin. You never know, it just might help you out someday.

Answer 3

Zombies, though persistent, lack basic intelligence. It's like they're pure drive with no rhyme or reason. The only way to survive such an attack is to feign zombiism yourself. Flagrantly kill enough innocent bystanders, all the while maintaining a vacant stare, no smile, no frown, and that relentless horde of zombies will simply accept you as one of their own. Do the job well and you may even earn yourself a permanent position among the troop. The upshot of all this is that, surrounded by myriad dead rotting bodies, YOU at least are still alive.

Answer 4

For home defense, have a gun and a meelee weapon for each member of your party. For me, a semi-automatic rifle and a machete. When the dead rise, move as much of your supplies (food, water, weapons, ammo, meds, etc.) as you can up to the second floor or attic, if you have one, then destroy the stairs. If you don't have either, stay on the first floor and move up to the roof when (and if) they attack.

If the attack is small enough, kill them by sniping from a safe place. USE MEELEE WEAPONS ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO!. Try to avoid getting that close to a zombie. If the attack is too large, focus on survival, not attack. Only attack them if they attack you. Wait for some kind of rescue to show up. If none does, you may have to deal with the problem yourself, but try to avoid that.

Also, try to have something to contact the outside world with other than a phone. Like a radio or something.
