Practicality for Zombie Apocalypse

Getting ready for the zombie apocalypse might just save your life—in the event of a hurricane, terrorist attack or other disaster. 

Zombies have become a popular theme in emergency planning. The Centers for Disease Control launched a "Zombie Preparedness Campaign" in 2011, and last fall, more than 65,000 people signed up for a massive open online course through University of California at Irvine for an academic crossover with AMC's "The Walking Dead," tackling subjects including the spread of infectious disease and managing stress in disaster situations. 

There are also preparedness apps such as Apocalypse Survival Guide—zombies are just one world-ending possibility—which this week plans to launch a feature to allow friends to create emergency plans together.
