Welcome to Gaia! ::

in any outbreak period, i would simply keep a low profile and barricade whereever i am, and wait for news. should it look like its getting worse, i would prepare for travel.

Sit on the roof, make lots of noise, and shoot or throw what ever we have (nothing too destructive such as molotovs). I wouldn't alert the authorities unless the situation went out of control, the police may become infected and pass the infection on. If i did alert them I would say that there was crazed people running around biting people, and that they seemed to be terribly diseased.

If I'm on the roof what can the the zombies do? I would be safe from harm, and would also be a distraction. It wouldn't take long to dispatch all the zombies from the roof, or for help to arrive. The only flaw would be if it were in the country and there was no one to help out. Or if ir became a class 3 or 4 and the house eventually crumbled from the masses of undead.

well seeing as it was a class one when I got onto the roof the staircase would not have been destroyed, so there would most likely be zombies throughout the house because I attracted them. In case this situation were ever to occur I would bring a few tools onto the roof before starting all the ruckus. I would then proceed to use the tools to cut enough of the roof off so that it could span the gap between my house and the next. After the roof/bridge is cut i would position it to span between the two houses. It Should support and conceal my party crossing one at a time, crawling on their stomachs. This would be done to 3 - 5 houses. Once all the 'bridges' are made my team will start making a whole lot of noise at one end of the house/bridges chain, and the zombies will move to that house. Then one by one the team will crawl unseen across the bridges to the end of the bridge/house chain. Then while the zombies are still distracted climb off the house and make some sort of escape.

Class One isn't a worry for me at all. The odds of a Class One getting out of hand too quickly are very slim for MOST places. Unfortunately, where I live (Boston, where you don't know who's touching your a** 90% of the time you're in a public place because you're packed like a sardine), a Class One could turn into a Class 3 or 4 within an hour.

If I was at home in the suburbs when a Class One broke out...

1. Lock my doors. Simple and very easy step. I wouldn't unlock those doors unless I knew it was safe.

2. I wouldn't go so far as boarding up my windows and doors yet, but probably barricading them or even taping up construction paper so the house looks dark seems reasonable.

3. Block the stairways. Just tossing cardboard boxes and dinky lawn chairs to pile up at the bottom works well enough, especially with 3 staircases, it'll be half a day before one of them manages to climb up.

4. If I wasn't prepared for travel before, I'd start preparing now. Pack a bag with nonperishables, matches, a few lighters, rope (you never know when you're going to need it), a pocket knife, a larger weapon, and warmer clothing.

5. Call the police and warn them. I'd tell them to put on full SWAT gear for protection, and if someone is acting like they're deaf and they're attacking people to kill on sight. Most likely, they'll consider it a prank, but it was worth a shot. Also, I'd call up the members of my team and loved ones to tell them what's going on and what to look out for.

6. Turn on the TV and keep an ear out for news.

7. Watch them. If they're the fast zombies, I'd probably get their attention from my roof (nigh impossible to get to). If they're the typical slow "braiiins" kind, then I'd get their attention from my porch. I'd do something that would attract most (if not all) of them to my front door in a way that wouldn't attract the police--so no Roman Candles or firing off a gun.

8. At this point, other members of my team should be nearby and taking out the strays. There are a few zombie killers in my town and a bunch in surrounding towns that woudl definitely be taking out tons of them.

tldr; be the bait.

Pre-Outbreak Step One: Make sure my dad has a gun liscense, a .22, a .45, and some bullets to make it work. Make sure the machete works well, get it and the two axes upstairs.

Pre Outbreak Step Two: Create a Metro-Atlanta Zombie SWAT team, which would consist of me, and a couple of my handy friends.

Pre-Outbreak Step Three: Watch news for suspicious cases of lost persons.

Gets bigger? Take your real steps!

Step one: Lock all windows and doors and store weapons in an easily accessible place.

Step Two: Either wrench apart the good ol' deck or make it a lookout station. Pull up the metal stairs and rip apart the stairs to it's floor.

Step Three: Barricade all first floor doors and windows. Note to self: steel mini girder things may help (I have a shelf of it)

Step Four: Consume all perishables first. You must save the non-perishables.

Step Five: Since I have a big TV, and a big sound system, I'll put the display on.

Step Six: Establish a safe point, or a fallback position in your house if even one zombie enters your house.

Step Seven: Start carrying around your good pal, Louisville Slugger.

Step Eight: Radio your team mates. See if they're okay. See if they can come to help with the sweep of the area.
