How to Prepare for a Zombie Apocalypse--Emmaline

 If zombies started to roam the streets eating your close friends and family what would you do? Would you be prepared physically? Mentally? Although a zombie apocalypse may never occur in your lifetime, it is always beneficial to prepare for extreme occurrences that require prior planning and knowledge to aid in your survival. As a close family member of individuals who are actively serving in the military and or Veterans, I, Emmaline Torres, will be your guide to plan for a disaster... zombie style! 

#1 The first thing to prepare for a zombie apocalypse is to watch the movie Zombieland, a 2009 American zombie comedy film directed by Ruben Fleischer starring Jesse Eisenberg (Now You See Me, Batman vs Superman), Emma Stone (Cruella, La La Land) , Woody zharrelson (Venom, The Hunger Games), Bill Murray (Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters) and many more amazing actors and actresses. If these people can survive through an apocalypse, so can you. This may sound silly but the movie has a list of survival rules that will help you. Let’s Get down to the nitty-gritty. 

    1. Need to be able to out-run zombie (good shape) 

    2. Do not be stingy with your weapons

    3. Most vulnerable when sitting on a toilet so beware 

    4. Need to be ready for a crash

     5. Last thing you want is to have too much luggage 

    6. Do not risk your life just to make yourself look good 

    7. Stretch/ be prepared 

    8. In case you are caught off guard know a way out

     9. Cannot always count on yourself 

    10. Check for zombies hiding in the backseat of cars 

    11. Maintain happy and sane state of mind

#2 Stock up on MREs (meals ready to eat). The Meal, Ready-to-Eat is a high calorie meal in lightweight packaging made specifically for service members when out in combat. It comes in a small package with a decent amount of food that will keep you full. You do not have to be in the military to be able to purchase them. On average an MRE can last 3-5 years and over 10 years if stored in a cool area well under 75 degrees fahrenheit. 4 Purchase some canned goods as well so to go along with your pre packaged goods.

#3 Become friends with a member of the Kardashian family so you can get into their expensive underground bunker. Most families living in America do not have an underground bunker to keep them from the outside world. While the Kardashian bunker will save your life, it does not guarantee that their family won't drive you mad. At least you can finally live the lavish life you have always been dreaming about.

#4 Learn how to fish and hunt. If it is safe to live above ground then a good skill to acquire beforehand is fishing and hunting. You won't be able to go to Target or Walmart and pick up groceries anymore so you will have to fend for yourself. Since most humans around the world will be zombies, it will be just you and the natural world. Fishing teaches you great skills like patience and persistence. Even if you do not have an area to fish or hunt near you, you will need persistence when it comes to taking down the zombies. One wrong move and you are done.

#5 Adopt a local dog from your nearest animal shelter. You cannot rely on humans all the time but a trusted guard dog, lazy pup, little munchkin, or schmoopsie poo will always be by your side. Dogs sense danger and know when their human is feeling blue. A zombie apocalypse will most likely have you feeling down in the dumps so adopting a dog is the best way to go. Dogs also teach you responsibility which is a characteristic everyone should obtain at some point in their lifetime.

I hope this guide helps to keep you alive and well no matter what type of disaster you may be planning for.
