TheZombie Survival Guide is the first book written by American author Max Brooks, published in 2003. It is a satirical survival manual about zombies, containing information about zombie physiology and behavior, defense strategies and tactics, and includes case studies of possible zombie outbreaks throughout history. Despite its fictional subject matter, the book also includes practical information on disaster preparedness, generally.[2]

The book is divided into seven sections and an appendix. The first section contains information on the nature of "Solanum", a virus that causes zombification, as well as the physical attributes of zombies and a classification system for the severity of hypothetical zombie outbreaks. The next five sections cover practical survival skills and advice for coping with a zombie outbreak, including combat, defense preparations, methods of transportation, and adapting to a world overrun with zombies. The final section lists recorded zombie attacks throughout history.

The appendix is an "outbreak journal" for the reader to record incidents of possible zombie activity or outbreaks, including dates, locations, distance, specifics, and actions taken in response. It contains an example entry describing a suspicious news report about a family that had been murdered and partially eaten, and the preparedness steps taken by the entry's author as a result.

In a 2013 interview with The New York Times, Brooks said he felt his literary agent had marketed the book as a parody, saying "How I think my agent pitched them was like, Mel Brooks' son, who has just won an Emmy for 'S.N.L.,' wrote this unbelievable parody, tongue in cheek, he never breaks character. He's totally making fun of a zombie plague." However, he considered the book to be in the self-help genre, rather than humor, saying "I can't think of anything less funny than dying in a zombie attack."[3]

Brooks' second book, World War Z, is a follow-up to The Zombie Survival Guide. Brooks has stated that the zombies in World War Z obey the same laws described in The Zombie Survival Guide, and suggested that they may exist in the same fictional universe.[4]

A promotional tie-in comic book, The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks, was released on October 6, 2008.[8][9] It was written by Brooks and illustrated by Brazilian artist Ibraim Roberson.[10]

An event occurred. It's origin unknown. Some say it's just nature restoring the balance. Some say it's a virus from outer space. Some say it's Judgement. Nobody truly knows. What we do know is that one day the dead started to rise. Everyone who dies rises again to attack the living and create more walking corpses. Countries that had the infrastructure managed to withstand the event whereas countries torn by civil war, famine and scarcity were not so lucky. Altis was not so lucky. You are a drifter. A faceless roaming survivor of the aftermath earning a meagre living scavenging and selling loot. You are nothing. A nobody and when you die you become another nobody. Over and over.

Explore and pillage the island nation of Altis where the further you go the harder it gets. Battle across high risk/high reward loot zones where the better the gear the more dangerous the foe but don't stay out too long. You don't want to be outside a safe zone when night falls. Take on odd jobs. Kill zombies and bandits for money. Build up your cash to buy better gear to take on harder loot zones but beware, If you die you lose it all.

Updated the scenario to remove the Western Sahara dlc requirement. This was completely unintentional and I left the dlc activated as I was planning on adding in the weapons and clothing and making a separate version at some point.

The Great Cascadia Zombie Survival Challenge: Take the steps to make your zombie (aka your family and community) resilient in times of emergencies. Whether you are preparing for a snowstorm, heat or smoke advisory, or an earthquake, preparing your zombie before disaster strikes is important.

Girl Scouts have two registration options to participate: complete the self-paced program and work through your zombie journey on your own timeline OR join us for an in-person zombie survival challenge!

Begin your zombie journey with the center patch challenge chapter. Your first assignment is to brainstorm what challenges your zombie might come across. What emergencies or disasters, natural or man-made might affect you, your troop, your family, and your community and thus your zombie? This list will help determine what tools you and your zombie will need to survive.

Stay tuned for details to join Girl Scouts of Western Washington for our 2024 Great Cascadia Zombie Survival Challenge! Learn to be prepared (not scared!) in case of natural disasters or other emergencies.

BROOKS: It was a childhood phobia that evolved into an adult fascination. As I got older I realized that zombie stories were a powerful tool for examining real world issues. Because zombies are a macro-threat, (as opposed to say, a single werewolf/vampire micro threat), they can kill people by simply disrupting the slender threads that hold society together. In a zombie outbreak, how many people would die from starvation, dehydration, and unhygienic living conditions?

Until I blogged about zombies I had no idea there were so many groups working on projects involving zombies, from actors and singers to school teachers, it seemed like everyone had zombies on the brain. Why do you think zombies are so popular? Are they the new vampire or are they bigger?

Your book and upcoming movie, World War Z, follows a reporter during a zombie apocalypse. While you were writing the story you must have thought a lot about what you would do if zombies ever started roaming the streets again. If you were going to prepare for a scenario like the one in World War Z, what would you put in your emergency kit?

America lives in the comfort of plenty. When major events happens alot of people are unprepared. I have a survival kit that can cover a hurricane & zombie outbreak. Happy to see the CDC finally touching on this subject.

This is truly a wonderful way to get people to get prepared! I am obsessed with wanting to work for the CDC and help with issues. That is what I come to this site for in the first place. However, I am obsessed with zombies too! I get all I want from one website!

I am rather disappointed that they are so politically correct as to noticeably exclude firearms from their list of suggested survival items. Putting aside this silly (but entertaining) stuff about zombies, the lack of law and order in the immediate aftermath of several hurricanes and riots have demonstrated the wisdom of having the means at hand to defend yourself and your family from bad people until order can be reestablished.

With the spooky night of Halloween lurking just around the corner and a zombie, goblin and ghoul threat in our imminent future, it seems only fitting to spend October preparing ourselves accordingly.

The Zombie Apocalypse Diver Course was brought to life by PADI instructor and zombie fanatic Woodrow Tinsley and the folks at Sharkiteuthis Diving Co. The course ran for the first time in the state of Maine six years ago.

As with any new scuba program; there was a lot of trial and error involved in determining what skills and challenges would work well with the certification. With much struggle and perseverance, Woody and his crew simplified and refined the zombie course to what it is today.

After a slow first year, the Zombie Apocalypse Diver Course has rapidly made waves around the world becoming the first ever of its kind in America. Now the course has progressed to become an honored PADI specialty certification.

We started our day with a classroom session, where the COJO instructors taught the students everything they could ever want to know about the the creepy brain eating monsters we have come to call zombies. The survival book touched on everything zombie related from the myths and legends to the real science surrounding the origin of the zombie. The course was presented in a creative and fun manner and paired perfectly with the PADI philosophy of conservation, buoyancy, rescue skills, and first aid skills.

In the open water section of the Zombie Apocalypse Diver Course, we took to the Fredericton river. Our dive mission was split into part I and part II. Part I was to find two cylinders of zombie gas and bring them safely to shore using float bags. In addition to our gas recovery mission, we also had to clean up trash, avoid being bit by zombies, and sneakily take a zombie selfie. Part II involved searching for a missing diver, bringing them to the surface and towing them to shore.

At the line junction, the big group split into the preorganized teams. Each team followed the lines in opposing direction to cover more ground in our search for the zombie gas. Once at the end point of the line, our team navigator began unwinding his own reel to start a circular search for the missing zombie gas.

As the team was performing the circular search, that was when we saw it our first brain-hungry zombie. It seemed to slowly drift out of the haze and silt of the river, an imposing figure floating above us. Very carefully one of our team members swam nice and close for a kodak moment. Can you say BRAINS, uh I mean CHEESE!! After we had taken the picture, the ghastly looking monster disappeared into the river about as quickly as it came into sight.

Shortly after our zombie friend had left us, we located and lifted the tank of dangerous gas from the bottom of the river bed. Slow but steadily we swam the neutrally buoyant tank to our research station onshore for further analysis.

Following a quick surface interval and some jelly donut eating, we headed back into the water for the second part of our mission; searching and saving a missing diver. Just like our first dive we followed the lines and split off into our teams. Once we reached the end of the reel, we prepared ourselves for a body search. The search was done very quickly, and the victim was found and towed to shore in a safe and controlled manner.
