EC: Summary

In Maggie Silver's article entitled "Teachable Moments- Courtesy of The Walking Dead", she states that we need to prepare a first aid kit for the zombie apocalypse. The author supports her claim by first filling up your car with gas, at least half full. Also, to have enough fuel to get out of a Dodge before impending disaster strikes. Silver says," Siphoning gas...with your mouth? Gross." The author next proceeds to show that you hve a first aid kit on hand and keep one near you, at home in the car and at work. " Were assuming that you're not scavenging for supplies on the freeway or hiding [under cars]," says Silver, " but...always have a first aid kit on hand." Finally the author says that clean water is zombie free water. Contaminated water is a common concern, also check with local authorizes about your water. Another way to make water safe is by boiling, adding disinfectants or filtering. "Zombie down the well? You might want to find a new water source," suggesting Silver.

One paragraph summary

In Ali S. Khan's article entitled "Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalpse", she prepares for a zombie/real emergency situation. The author supports her claim by making an emergency kit: water, food, medications, supplies, sanitation, hygiene, clothes, important documents and first aid supplies. Khan aslo says,"...to get you through the first couple of days before you can locate a zombie-free refugee camp..." The author next proceeds to show that you plan an emergency plan that identify types of emergencies that are possible in your area, picking a meeting place for your family, identify your emergency contacts, plan your evacuation route. " When zombie are hungry," says Khan,"they won't stop until they get food (i.e., brains)." Finally, the author states that CDC is prepared for any disaster like they would provide technical assistance, and would send medical teams and first responders to help those in affected areas. Khan says." If zombies did roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak."
