Zombie Apocalypse

Posted by Robert Czechlewski on October 17, 2012 at 1:55 PM Comments comments (0)

Wonder why Zombies, Zombie Apocalypse, and Zombie Preparedness continue to live or walk dead on a CDC web site? As it turns out what first began as a tongue in cheek campaign to engage new audiences with preparedness messages has proven to be a very effective platform. We continue to reach and engage a wide variety of audiences on all hazards preparedness via Zombie Preparedness; and as our own director, Dr. Ali Khan, notes, "If you are generally well equipped to deal with a zombie apocalypse you will be prepared for a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake, or terrorist attack." So please log on, get a kit, make a plan, and be prepared!

Generators

FEMA does not provide generators to individuals, nor does FEMA provide reimbursements for generators purchased by individuals.

FEMA only brings in generators to supply power to large critical infrastructures during times of disasters, such as hospitals, water treatment plants and 911 centers.
