Why Is Kansas Preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse?
National Journal ^ | 9/24/14 | Clare Foran

Posted on 09/24/2014 9:48:08 AM PDT by Kartographer

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback wants his state to be ready when zombies arrive.

And 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.

I wanna know why the government is prepping us for disasters of late.

What do they know?

They really should come out with it and inform us about the possibilities on the horizon, so we actually understand what the threat is.

Maybe it’s just my imagination, but I swear I saw a bunch of zombies in Ferguson, MO a couple of weeks ago(?)

Totally worthless article only written for the headline and to make Brownback look silly with mid terms approaching.

The Zombie preparedness is actually run by the feds.

But Nat Journal is dishonest.

Because you’d be called a racist if you say what you’re actually preparing for.

We are on a well too, in an area that has lots of electrical outages. Some are short, but some are of longer duration, so we learned that lesson about 50 years ago. Now it’s not a big deal usually.

While I keep at least 25 gallons of bottled water on hand for drinking and cooking, the first thing we do is to drain the pipes of water into several large containers before someone forgets and flushes the toilet.

That is sufficient for the shorter term outages of around 36 hours or less without having to use the bottled stuff.

If you have a water heater, you should also have about 50 gallons of water to use in an emergency. Heat it on a gas stove or camping stove or even a wood fire. When it’s the temp you want, put it into a watering can with a sprinkler head (I use mine to water the garden normally) and use that for a nice warm shower.

We have 4 toilets. Each one will flush only once with the water in the tank already. So we are judicious about when a particular toilet gets flushed.

we have water in rain barrels, or the swimming pool that we bought on sale at the end of last summer to use to water the garden. A five gallon bucket can be used to haul that in and used to flush the toilet.

It’s a good thing to be able to adjust to lack of modern conveniences when you need to.

What do they know????? Doubt if they are sure.

People on Kart’s ping list, when you put them all together, probably know more than the G-Men about risks and how to prep for them.
