Just a month after the Department of Homeland Security urged citizens to prepare for a zombie apocalypse as part of their emergency/disaster preparedness campaign, Halo Corp. announces that they are putting together a zombie apocalypse training event for roughly 1000 Marines, law enforcement, and medical personnel. The event will be on October 31th at Paradise Point Resort in San Diego.
Do I think the zombies are coming?... probably not. This training exercise is suppose to prepare the participants for any kind of biological, natural, or terrorist threat. The theory is that if you are prepared for a zombie attack, the same preparations will help during a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake, or terrorist attack. I don't know about you guys but I don't think bullets work to well against hurricanes, but them seem to work really well on zombie heads. The CDC had this same plan to prepare the public for such disasters back in May 2011 with their Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse.
