WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE: PLAN G.G.G.

1. GATHER
Find all possibly useful materials. Grab all non-perishable foods and cooking essentials; a pot, a pan, possibly a small camping stove. Make sure to have plenty of water/other liquids to stay hydrated. Also bring proper clothing and necessary personal items. Dress in layers that are easy to move in, but adaptable for the weather. Thicker materials, such as leather, are recommended as they are harder to bite through. Arm yourself. Improvise items into weapons until you can be properly armed. A shovel? Bash a zombie in the head. An Ax? Decapitate a zombie. Guns, although useful in an emergency, are the equivalent of ringing a dinner bell in a zombie-populated area. Close combat weapons make much less noise and are equally effective, just aim for the brain. Make sure you have enough materials to maximize your chances of survival. You'll want to travel light, but still be prepared.

2. GROUP
Stick together. While you don't want to be caught by zombies simply because you aren't moving fast enough, there is truth to the saying "safety in numbers". By sticking in a group, you'll be able to attack smaller zombie mobs if necessary and combine resources to increase survival chances. Within your group, assign tasks to each member based on their skills. This will allow your group to remain mobile and efficient.

3. GET THE HECK OUT
Most likely, the zombie outbreak will be due to a virus and spread through biting. Keeping the relatively slow-moving pace of zombies, the best plan of action is to leave the affected area as quickly as possible. Air travel is optimal as zombies will remain on the ground and cannot disturb you. However, as most people will not have access to a plane or helicopter, traveling by car will be the optimal choice. Leave quickly. Roads will soon become congested and especially vulnerable to zombie attack. Drive fast and stay alert. The last thing you want is to become trapped in a car with an oncoming zombie mob. Keep an eye out for mobs while moving as fast as you can. Drive to larger cities/higher ground. If you know a city has not yet been infected, get there as soon as possible. Most major cities will be barricaded so it is imperative to be within the city before this happens. If you cannot make it to a larger city, move to higher ground. Elevation will give you the advantage against a zombie mob and it will also make it easier to spot groups of zombies. Move fast, stay alert, and be prepared.
