FoxNews.com:  Are you prepared for the impending "zombie invasion?"  That is the question posed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a blog post on Monday, gruesomely titled, Preparedness 101 "Zombie Apocalypse."  While it is no joke, CDC officials say it is all about emergency preparation.  There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for, the post reads.  Take a "zombie apocalypse" for example.  That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e-a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e.  You may laugh now, but when it happens, you will be glad you read this, and maybe you will learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency."  The post, written by Assistant Surgeon General Ali Khan, instructs readers how to prepare for "flesh-eating zombies" much like how they appeared in Hollywood hits like the Night of the Living Dead and video games like Resident Evil.  Perhaps surprisingly, the same steps you would take in preparation for an onslaught of ravenous monsters are similar to those suggested in advance of a hurricane or pandemic.  "First of all, you should have an emergency kit in your house," the posting continues.  "This includes things like water, food and other supplies to get you through the first couple of day, before you can locate a 'zombie free refugee camp' (or in the event of a natural disaster, it will buy you some time until you are able to make your way to an evacuation shelter, or until utility lines are restored.)"  Other items to be stashed in such a kit include medications, duct tape, a battery powered radio, clothes, copies of important documents, and first aid supplies.  "Once you have made your emergency kit, you should sit down with your family and come up with an emergency plan," the post continues.  "This includes where you would go and who you would call if "zombies started appearing outside your doorstep.  You can also implement this plan if there is a flood, earthquake, or other emergency."  The idea behind the campaign stemmed from concerns of radiation fears following the earthquake and tsunami that rocked Japan in March.  CDC spokesman Dave Daigle told FoxNews.com that someone had asked CDC officials if zombies would be a concern due to radiation fears in Japan and traffic spiked following that mention.  "It's kind of a tongue-in-cheek campaign," Daiagle said Wednesday.  We were talking about hurricane preparedness and someone bemoaned that we kept putting out the same messages."  While metrics for the post are not yet available, Daigle said it has become the most popular CDC blog entry in just two days.  "People are so tuned into zombies," he said.  "People are really dialed in on zombies.  The idea is that we are reaching an audience or segment we have never reached with typical messages."  
 

My Comments:  It is so sad that people are "so tuned into zombies," but not "tuned into God," their creator.  He loves us, cares for us, created us in His image and the Word of God says He has only good in mind for us.  "I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, who walk in ways that are not good, after their own thoughts" Isaiah 65:2.  For more information on preparedness, please visit the Warnings page on this website and look for the topic, Electromagnetic Pulse Warning.
