to make sure Kansas takes the zombie apocalypse seriously, Brownback plans to officially declare October "Zombie Preparedness Month" during a ceremonial event Friday at the Kansas Statehouse.
Zombie Preparedness Month, however, is not actually about planning a defense for viral reincarnate flesh eaters. Instead, Brownback's administration wants to capitalize on pop culture's zombie obsession to raise awareness about disaster planning and response. |
They must know something we dont.

Quoted: Except they're waiting for October, when September is National Preparedness Month. Day late and a dollar short. Quoted: Quoted: only arfcom can find fault with the gov having a sense of humor and encouraging self reliance Except they're waiting for October, when September is National Preparedness Month. Day late and a dollar short. Except people in general are far more likely to pay attention to this than they are the standard disaster preparation message. Pop culture being what it is and whatnot. Face it, most Kansans feel like tornadoes are "old hat" until/unless they've been hit by one. |

I understand using Zombies The CDC has been doing it for years The theme is fine, it's the timing that is piss-poor. |

Maybe some of the slower ones will pick up on it this way.  |

Quoted: Well the new season of TheWalking Dead starts in Oct.  Quoted: Quoted: Wait, zombie's aren't actually coming?  Well the new season of TheWalking Dead starts in Oct. Which is probably why they are doing this in October, actually. I love these campaigns. They have brought far more public interest to preparedness than anything else.

Not that I celebrate it, but even I can see the obvious connection. |

Still one of the coolest things I've seen.

One of the cable TV channels was running a show on prepping for zombies. One character argued the right weapon for self defense was a crowbar since it never runs out of ammo.
