WHAT I WOULD DO IS...
..If you are in a suburban area, get someone to go downstairs and lock the doors and windows, actually
barricade it, and another to get the food supplies downstairs and bring it upstairs and another to get to the bathtubs in the house and fill it up with water right away. FULL. because if there is an outbreak, water will be scarce and the water that is coming to your house might be infected and stuff. focus your attention on keeping lights, noise, and attention low. Destroy your stairs, like OBLITERATE IT, so in case zombies get in they cant get to you upstairs. lol... have all the available weapons with you. plan an emergency exit. what I plan is break the upstairs window and have a loong piece of wood board to my neighbor's rooftop and cross from there. always have an emergency back pack. so that if you are sleeping and they some how come in and upstairs, you can
grab & go. sooo if you didn't know, a weapon is useless unless you know how to use it. I suggest you practice with it, learn, make it a part of you, an extension of your limbs.
Exercising is a MUST. while you are in your fortified home, do some push up sit ups anything to get you in to shape or in to better shape. have books, mangas, and other fun things you can do so you wont get bored. and have one person stay up and have shifts through out the night. if you are sleeping shift use an ipod with headphones so you can cancel all of the moanings of zombies and a better sleep. if you snore.. omfg you better put some pillow on your face. lmfao. but if you have to abandon your house, get out of the city, try not to use flash lights if you can help it at night. avoid cities, and just keep alive until you run into help. NEVER use vehicles except for bicycles. especially if youre in the city. if there is a road block youre effed. you can carry your bicycle up hills or over boulders and get to the other side. also, it runs out of gas and it makes a hell of a noise and it is like an icecream truck with the music on luring kids but instead they are zombies. with bikes, just be extra careful with your speed, go fast but not too fast cuz you might run into zombies and cant stop. its also very quiet so its a ninja machine

also assign people in your group
jobs. like the Long Ranger, the Blunt Weap, the Samurai, the Nurse, the Genius, The Cook, The Survivalist, etc.. but always keep a leveled head and
keep cool. assess situation and actually get rest at nights. remember this "there is
no safe place, only safer." lmfao i cant believe i just typed that. I Actually read "Zombie Survival Guide" by Max Brooks sooo yeah... my source is
