As such, we at Triangle Wiki are currently assembling a survival guide, so you know how to deal with zombie attacks.
Start add content here...
The key to surviving a one on one attack is to put one in the zombies head/brain....end of story....but once said execution is complete you must keep moving as it is likely to draw other zombies to your area.
Preparation guide*
The Open Source Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse. It includes recommendations for what you should do when facing five major problems after zombies infest the planet:
- Energy
- Finding your friends
- Preventing boredom
- Staying alive
- Rebuilding civilization
* - print this out and store it away for safe keeping
Initial Response
When you first hear about the attack, take a good look around you. Look and listen. This, of course, assumes that you don't find out by being already under attack! If you are under attack, or even if you aren't, head for some shelter immediately. It should either be a place that you can secure and hide, or a vehicle that can help you make a hasty retreat.
It is unlikely that your initial location will be safe, at least in the long term. You'll need to move to some place in order to get food and water, and to meet other non-infected humans to watch your back. If you're sure you have time, take any weapons, water, food, flashlights, fuel, and other tools you have on hand with you, in that order. Remember, the goal is survival, not preservation of all of your stuff. Each one will keep you alive a little longer, but none will save you if you dally behind and someone chomps on your brains.
For emergency updates on the outbreak, tune to G105fm or NPR 91.5fm or scan the AM band.
Get to a Safe Place
Transportation to a place of safety is key. Of course in Raleigh, we have a lot of greenways. Riding bicycles do have some advantages, such as more flexibility to go through narrow areas and not requiring fuel. However, bicycles don't afford nearly as much protection (for the occupants) as a closed-shell vehicle, so you won't be able to drive over the Zombies.
Downtown Raleigh
Get out of downtown Raleigh as fast as possible. Do not run into parking garages or buildings, since it will impossible to get with Zombies walking around the city. If you get stuck in downtown, then head to the state prison or jump on a moving freight train near Seaboard or the Amtrak Station.
