If you could shelter in place, this would always be a good first response.

In some places, like those close to a nuclear power plant complex, such as in Phoenix, they cannot shelter in place, because it is only a matter of time before that whole metroplex goes chernoble.

In that case you would need to pre-plan your escape direction.

Most people in the arid parts of Souther Calif, Ariz, or NM would need to head northeast, to the verdent forest lands of the Sierra, Utah, or Colorado.

So you might get quite a bit of company, where you are, in Colorado.

Finding enough gasoline to get to Colorado is going to be the hardest part though.

Unless people are storing gasoline too, which does not store well, and tends to separate within about 6 months of storage time.

I myself always keep my gas tank 3/4th full, which is enough to get me to my hunting grounds in the Sierra, about 3 hours away.

There are natural springs there with enough water percolating out of the USFS grounds for drinking, at least.

I am worried that the public lands will be flooded with people fleeing zombies in the cities however.

Which means it would be open season on the zombie cridders themselves.

I wonder how they would taste?

I wonder how long you need to age them first? Probably about a week huh?

Thank heavens for body fat. I can probably last for about 1 month without eating. But drinking and sleeping you need to do every day or you will die. So fresh water is the most important thing.

I will worry about curing zombie meat later.

Where will I go? First thing I'd do, is remove all the non-essential items from my Jeep. Then head to the nearest car audio store, steal a couple badass subs and jack them into my badass amps. Then go straight for the ammo, load up the Jeep to the brim and head straight for the mall. That's where all the zombies will be. Americans love the malls, even when they're undead. That's what Hollywood has taught me. I think you can figure out what happens next.

I'm Pro-Zombie !~ I would join them. They seems to have a well ordered society without any designated "leader". A utopian society.

Now, give me your brains!

Depends on which form of zombie I guess.

The nanobot zombie, the vaccine zombie, the toxin zombie, and I think there are a couple more. It's been a while since I looked into real zombies.

The type of zombie will dictate the danger level, the infection level, and the defense method.

A zombie is already dead, as in the walking dead. The dead dont need to breath, thus they can not drown.:p

A nanobot created zombie MIGHT be able to survive under water. But only if the nanites can extract sufficient oxygen from the water to keep the zombie alive. The others wouldn't survive. This is why I referred to movie zombies as mythical. The brain and muscles require oxygen to function and survive. Which means they also require a beating heart and plenty of blood.

What PPM said, but also note that if a Zombie requires a brain to survive, the brain requires oxygenated blood to survive. Further, without oxygenated blood, the muscles would be unable to function. Ever sit on your leg, only to stand up and find out that your leg doesn't want to move? Maybe you sleep on your arm wrong and wake up to find a paralyzed arm. That's caused by low blood to the affected area. ;)

I gotta tell ya, I have woken up far too many times with a paralyzed arm, completely devoid of all feeling, not even pins and needles and that'll last for an ungodly amount of time(upto five minutes) before I start to get feeling again. That crap is freakin scarey!
