I used to think following the news would help me be prepared. It mostly has not.

Yeah. Once the CDC helped me prepare for Zombies, I realized I could relax about the news.

May 16th 2011... Pretty sure this is an April fools joke, and like everything in government it was a month and a half late.

Yeah. It's a joke publicity stunt.

But it's also useful - the preparations given for zombie apocalypse are actually pragmatic preparations that can help during severe weather, supply chain disruption, pandemic, etc.

I like to share the zombie article, in particular, because, while it's silly, the advice in it is reasonable and useful to almost anyone.
