Are you going through a post-Halloween zombie withdrawal? Imaginary zombie attacks are great tools to encourage people to be prepared for anything!
The Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation made a short zombie movie – The Undeading – to highlight the ease of Compression-Only CPR. You can also check out their website for more information and behind-the-scenes details!
Following along the same lines, visit the provincial Emergency Info website to check out Zombie Preparedness Week, a campaign run in 2012 to prepare BC residents to deal with zombies… or flooding, earthquakes or tsunamis!

If you’re bookmarking links for later, here are the three main steps of Emergency Preparedness:
1 – Know The Risks In Your Area
Is it flooding? A landslide? An earthquake?
2 – Make a Plan
Find the safe exits from your home and neighbourhood, plan a meeting spot to reunite with family and friends, and pre-arrange an out-of-province contact for check-ins so friends and family will know you’re okay.
3 – Get an Emergency Kit
