If I heard about the zombie apocalypse happening on TV or the Radio and was at my house here's what i'd do, and yes I have been planning this out for awhile.
1. Grab all emergency food and water from my cabinet and bring it upstairs (Yes its all there for a zombie apocalypse.
2. Turn on the bathtub upstairs and leave it until it fills up. (Powers probally going to go out so it would be good to have some extra water.
3. Go back downstairs and grab any blunt/sharp objects that can be used as a weapon.
4. Barricade doors and large windows with heavy items.
5. Grab as many sheets and blankets as I can, to cover the window during night time.
6. Destroy the stairs leading upstairs.
7. Continue to watch TV and call my friends and family to check on them.
8. If a large amount of zombies end up outside my house, go out my bedroom window and use a rope to get down to the ground.
9. If there is no way around the mob, use my kayak to get myself to the other end of the pond that is in my backyard.
10. Go to my friends house that is the closest to me.
11. Repeat all steps until I have all of my friends and a fair amount of food and water.
This plan isn't very fool-proof, but hey its better than nothing right?
