On the move or hold up

   OK, so the CDC has finally admitted that there has been a viral outbreak and the chaos is building. Zombies are in a rural town but it is only a matter or time before the hit a major city and spread like wildfire. You are now faced with you first decision; do I stay put and barricade my self into my home, or wherever you are, or do I get on the move? The answer is not too clear.    The first thing to consider is how long this epidemic is expected to last. We will have some sort of warning via radio or television. Electricity does not go out immediately folks. If this attack is expected to be short lived, like a 5 day event, it would be better to barricade yourself into you home and wait it out. If it is expected to last weeks, months, or even years it is time to get on the move.
   It is important to keep in mind that most people are going to panic and clog up the road ways. If you can get you vehicle out of town go right ahead, just remember that fuel will be scarce. However you get there you safest places are going to be secluded areas such as: National Parks, wildlife preserves, mountains, mine shafts, etc. More populated areas are going to have higher infection rate which increases the amount of zombies trying to do harm to you and you family.
   It is impossible to make a Plan Z without knowing the variables. I will be discussing more important topics in later posts. I will break down each variable and explain how to apply them to you survival plan. We will even go through how to use Google Earth for planning.
