The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: Dealing with the chaos

4) Have a backup plan for getting out of dodge.

Even if you and your entire neighborhood are prepared for the zombie apocalypse, the sheer number of zombies (Or hostiles) might just be too much for all of you to face up to. In that case, the best suggestion I can make is having a plan for getting out of there, though, if I may say so, chances are, if you’re planning on leaving after the chaos has hit, you may be too late. Just saying.

Regardless, the fact remains that you need a clear plan for escaping your area in case things get to be too much, this isn’t simply fleeing, but, having an idea of where you’re going to go and how you’re going to get there. Either one is kind of useless without the other.

You need to know where all of you are going to regroup, and what routes you’re going to take to get there. Now, depending on where you are when the apocalypse hits will tell you how easy or difficult that’s going to be, but, since I imagine a city to be far more difficult, I would suggest that, if you’re leaving one, taking the major highway routes out might not be such a great idea, as there will almost certainly be hundreds of thousands of people who have the same idea.

Whatever you do, or wherever you go, the important thing is to have your plan (And, preferably, a backup plan) ready well ahead of the apocalypse, so that you’re wasting as little time as possible before implementing it. Now, I’ll grant, there’s always the chance that a plan goes awry, but, it’s better to have that plan in advance than to spend time trying to figure one out while the place you live in goes into total chaos around you.
