How to Survive a Zombie Uprising

How to survive the four stages of a zombie uprising.

They tell you that zombies are not real. But as anyone who's ever investigated puffer fish toxin, or who has read this list on cracked.com, or has ANY sanity at all will attest to, the zombie uprising is closer to hand than the faceless masses think. There are many sites to help you survive the uprising, and this is my contribution to the very important field.

How the Uprising Will Happen

There are a few different assumptions I will make about the zombie uprising. These are factors which cannot be known for certain, but which zombologists all over the world have gathered together and determined likely:

  • Zombies will be slow and shambling
  • If bitten by a zombie, you become one
  • The initial factor that creates the first zombies will vanish quite quickly
  • The zombies are stupid

Now, we can loosely divide the plan into four sections (Click the title of each for the full details on that section):

  1. Uprising

    The zombies arise. Mass panic grips the nation. The hardest phase to survive, and the most important to have a detailed plan for.
  2. Survival - Coming tomorrow

    The horde is at its largest, many are dead. You must fight and gather supplies to survive, while you search for a new base of operations.
  3. Defense - Coming soon

    Having found a suitable base, you must now defend it from zombie attack, while keeping it supplied, and trying to gather survivors.
  4. Rebuild - Coming soon

    You have enough people and enough supplied to last for a while. You need to start re building culture, repopulating the human race, and most importantly, clearing the land of zombies.

We will look carefully at each of these phases in turn, and determine why each of them is important, and what we must do to survive each of them. My intention is to spend a degree of time writing each of these, and I shall upload them over the course of the coming week. Hopefully, I will be able to finish one a day, so please check back every so often to complete the set. Your life (or lack of unlife) may depend on it. If you wish to give feedback, or to suggest ideas and give advice for the upcoming articles in this series, please use the comments feature below.

Aslo, whole you are waiting, why not check out these great zombie attack survival simulators? (ZASS for short).

This was written on the 17/08/08. Stage one was written at the same time, and the author aims to have each section written and uploaded within two days of each other. So please check back for updates.

Cool stuff... I love zombies (well, not literally, of course!). Some really gruesome pics in the follow ups would go down really well! He he!

Thanks for sharing. Between my zombie articles and yours we can prepare the still living for the onslaught! LOL

And to answer your question, I have a copy of Shaun of the Dead. One of my favorites!
