FEMA and the CDC have launched a "Zombie Awareness" webinar series as a tool for disaster preparedness. The government uses the zombie theme to generate low-cost publicity and engage the public in general emergency planning.
The CDC has launched a "zombie preparedness" campaign, which officials claim is a novel way to engage the public in hurricane season readiness. This coincides with a gruesome incident in Miami involving Rudy Eugene, which the media has labeled a "zombie" attack. Critics suggest these campaigns are either distractions or viral marketing for the upcoming film World War Z.
CDC Zombie Comic, Emergency Preparedness, Undead Pandemic
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released a 50-page comic book titled "Preparedness 101: Zombie Pandemic" to teach emergency readiness. While framed as a fictional exercise to engage the public, some observers find the focus on a "zombie apocalypse" to be a strange and potentially desensitizing way to handle real-world disaster training.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) launched a social media campaign using a "zombie apocalypse" theme to encourage emergency preparedness. The hosts debate whether this is a joke or a "hip" marketing tactic. They criticize the CDC's advice for lacking practical "zombie killing" information, such as the "double tap" method, and link the concept to vaccine-induced behavior.
