Safe Havens & Places to avoid

When in a public space and on the run from a horde of fleash eatign monsters, you just might need a place to rest. But where is the safest place?

Office Buildings: Good
Once the first floor has been abandoned, the staircases destroyed, and the elevators shut down, an office building can be a tower of safety.

Schools: Good
Inner-city schools have taken on a fortress-like atmosphere. Not only are the buildings themselves built to withstand a riot, but chain-link fences surrounding them make these halls of education look more like a military compound. Often, a school is your best bet--perhaps not for education but certainly for protection from an undead attack.

Hospitals: Bad
Humans with bites or newly murdered corpses are allways brought to hospitals. The majority of first-wave zombies consist of medical staff or those involved with the treatment of cadavers. Chronological maps of zombie outbreaks show them literally radiating from these buildings.

Police Stations: Bad
Unlike with hospitals, the reason for avoiding police stations has less to do with zombies than with humans. In all probability, the people living in your city or town will flock to the local police station, creating a nexus of chaos, bodies, and eventual blood.

Supermarkets: Bad
Their huge glass doors, even when locked and gated, provide little protection. Reinforcement of these entrances would be difficult. Basically, the exterior of a supermarket is a giant display window, meant to show the fresh, delicious food withen. With humans on the inside and combies on the outside, that is exactly what it will do.

Shopping Malls: Bad
In an outbreak of any class, heading for a shopping mall would mean heading for a center of chaos.

Churches: Bad
The walking dead attack churches for one reason: It's where the food is. These places of worship, crammed with people loudly praying for their souls, have allways served as beacons for the undead. Aerial photographs have shown zombies migrating slowly twoard their future slaughterhouse: The nearest church.

Warehouses: Good
Given their lack of windows, easily secured entrances, and generally spacious layouts, warehouses can be ideal refuge for an extended period of time. Many warehouses have a security office, ussuallyequipped with bathroom facilities and therefore an immediate source of water. If the merchandise that is stored there is both heavy and kept in large, durable crates, consider yourself lucky. These boxes can be used to reinforce doors.

Piers and Docks: Exellent
With some modifications, adequate supplies, and the right location, any dock or pier can be made practically unreachable. Because zombies can neither swim nor climb, their only acess would be from land. Destroying that one acess point would leave you on an artificial island.

Then don't pick the peirs that have slopes.
Easy as that.

Eee...I geuss I'd just start crying out of utter sadness.
And I don't think a peir would have a tree on it.. lol
But if it did....lol
But it doesn't matter, I shall force you to somehow carry me to safety!
If ever we bump into each other whilst on the run from hoardes of the undead,
lol
(:

Ah.
Even if I were being swarmed with hoardes of zombies, I wouldn't go to a school. Why? Because I just don't like them...nor trust them. lol
I'd like to find myself in a rural area, y'know? Get as far away from living and non-living-living things as I can... (:

This is a good plan too, but about number 2, maybe have 2 or 3 fat friends, you don't want all or most of your friends being zombies and you being lonley...other than that, pretty good. xd

I like the warehouse idea!! mrgreen

Here is the best way to find a place to hide. Knock on the front door.If you hear:
A.)Zombie Moaning, get the ******** out.
B.) Moaning like some one is in pain, get the ******** out.
C.)Sexual Moaning, go in cause zombies don't have sex.
D.) Nothing.Go in.

A shopping mall could work, a shopping mall could work, a shopping mall could work....

I'll just keep telling myelf that.

But hey, in the early part of an outbreak (when the zombies have pretty much just been spotted) a shopping mall could definitely be barricaded and secured, there would definitely be enough manpower to do it.

Sure, there's the possibility someone might be infected, so for that reason just grab some supplies and hole up in the security room for a bit, long enough to tell whether or not someone was infected and turned everyone.

I live near the biggest mall in north America and I know the safe spots of the place. biggrin You know, the roomy places nobody ever goes to. There's this boat structure for parties, it's rarely ever used and has a roomy area beneath it. It's delightfully close to the food court, too. The walkway to it is wooden (which means easier demolishing) and is surrounded by an indoor lake, so if the survivors managed to barricade up before getting attacked by the single (or maybe more) infected person that infected them all I need only lure the zombies towrds me and watch them fall into very deep water. Maybe that strategy wouldn't kill em all, but at least around the food court would be safe.
