And assuming a continued government...
...what would be the name of the Federal agency formed to deal with the situation? Would it be an militarized division of the CDC or FEMA? Or would it be an entirely new entity such as Homeland Security? What would be it's pecking order and limitations in relation to other agencies such as the CIA and FBI? |

ATFZ
If it is fun, and what could be more fun than a barrel o' zombies, the ATFZ will regulate it. |
|
|
|
Putting a government agency in charge of Zombie management would do nothing but ensure a zombie take over. No real progress would be made until the government collapsed.
|
|
|
|
Probably right. I'm just curious what they'd create and what they'd likely name it. |
|
|
ZOMBIE Units
Zombie Operationial Mobile Biological Interdiction Eradication |
|
Too many letters for an alpha agency. Good but they won't do it. No way a Fed could remember all that and they have to be able to identify who they work for. |
|
|
Read the case logs man read the case logs Vampires are a very real threat. |
||
|
That might work. Except the directors name could easily be Zeb and that would just confuse folks. Now Zombie Management Bureau might be a good one. ZMB has the menacing sound to it. |
|
|
I don't care what we call them as long as they decide to use liberals as bait.
|
|
Even IF true they require two very different kinds of management. No way one agency would handle it. That is as crazy as an agency that regulates alcohol and firearms at the same time. |
|||
|
Management sounds to PC. Of course it might work for the .gov. Would not want to offend the zombies. |
||
|
Lock yourself up in your house for a few days and they should begin to decompose. Dead things decompose right?
|
|
First the .gov would deny a prob, then they would call the undocumented non living, then there would be a militia to take action, and they would be called racist.

the "DUDA" Dem Undead Democrate Assholes. Then you sing-- "duda, duda, duda
|

We need military units for this. I say there should be a National Guard/Reserves division dedicated to the elimination of zombie forces. Government agencies are no good at elimination of enemy forces through force. All they'll do is use serveillance and the such against the zombies and they will try to bring charges against them in court.

President's aide: Sir, the Helms amendment and NSC order 725 both specifically prohibit the use of Omega Force against Caucasians. |

Zombie outbreak ?
Just great . That just means my taxes are going to go even higher so I can pay for them to suck up the welfare checks! Even better,I bet their going to reproduce as often as possible just to neglect their little zombets ,and collect more. After we FINALLY start to get a little control of it here, Zombies will be crossing the borders in droves. Working under the table ,getting free untaxed benefits, and lowering the average wage. Making it even freaking harder. NOT ANY MORE ! Hey ,there's no freaking zombie icons for my 50 to shoot ! |
|
Oh yeah, what kind of zombies, 28 days later, Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil, or you good ole Halloween version of the Simpsons? |
|
|
We're talking about REAL zombies here. You have to keep in mind that the zombies in the documentaries are merely actors in a dramatization though some may be real footage. You have to basically draw the facts where you can. |

having been in the biological containment field in the army.....
it would be a joint effort between USAMRIID at ftdetrick and the cdc for operations planning and containment. The USARMY would be responsible via NG/reserve and active bases for local quaranteen. Civillian control/contaiment and support responsibilities would fall to FEMA under the direction of the pentagon via plans originated at USAMRIID. this would be pretty much the standard response for any biological contigency. <at least that was the case in the 90's it could have changed since then> |
|
Yes but it has to be attacked like it were an enemy. It's not like some simple virus that people get sick and you need to get the cure or they die. It turns people into violent creatures that exist to spread their disease and kill people.
|
|
Remember the X-Files movie? The pending (or already underway) alien invasion, cover up was being handled by FEMA. I think that it would have to be a sub-agency of an already existing group, because there would not be time to organize a new department, and come up with a different set of color codes to go along with it. I would think that it would also have a harmless sounding name that didn't really specify what it did. Sort of along the lines of DEVGRU, Development Group. You don't really know what they do, even when a SEAL tells you what he does. Maybe something like the Transition Bureau.
|
|
I think a MASSIVE ZOMBIE OUTBREAK, as stated by Steyr could not be secret for long |
|
|
yes but it would be treated and contained like a biolaogical infection due to the way it spreads. Beleive it or not the plans that are in place are kinda spooky.
|
|
Please, do tell...... |
|
|
wouldn't matter that was 15 years ago. i seriously doubt the same contingency plans are in place. i can say during WWII and korea nukes were discussed. part of our job was editing old tests and records for FOIA requests. the shit the army did for biowarfare testinng between early WWI- korea was just short of bizzare.
|
|
Well I'm ready.
Question: If you eat a zombie, do you become infested? |
|
Not if you cook them right! |
|
|
Why would you suddenly have lots of zombies if you ate one? |
|
|
Who cares about all that, I just want to know how to get a job killin' zombies. |
|
|
Yes but I'm sure they'd create a Fed agency to study and direct the situation. |
|
|
Real zombies like in the Romero documentaries. |

ZIP
"Zombie Intelligence Patrol" Members will drive Corvairs and lip-synch dialogue. |
|
Of course. |
|
|
I'm talking about an "after the fact" agency following a period of moderately successful containment. |

Considering that if Zombies were to show their undead faces the government would want to prevent the situation from spreading, escilating and being publiscised.
As agnet K said, "Man as an individual is reasonable but Man as a group are unreasonable and a mob." So my guess would be something along the lines of Buro of Paranormal Research and Containment (BPRC) OR Buero of Paranormal Research and Extermination (BPRE) |
|
ZCI
zombie crisis inderdiction ZCID pronounced (Zeesid) zombie crisis interdiction division I think it would most likely end up being a shadow arm of CDC. Its well known that Zombies and the plague is infectious, so its only natural they will branch off the experts from the CDC. CDC-Z ? When we decide on one that we feel will happen, I would love to see a photochop of a guy with the jacket and logo braining some undead withan M4. |
|
There is only one kind of zombie. There are many mockumenaries that speculate, but is accepted in many circles that Romeros work was closest to the truth. (well not his last one which imho was a mockumentary) |
||
|
I don't know about the last one. It was always speculated that zombies might be able to evolve, as they are a new life form, from the body that they take over..... |
|||
|
There would be a Zombie Czar. And I would be that Czar. I would immediately order the ready availability of miniguns, M2's, and flame throwers. |
