is your house zombie safe?

i was thinking about the imminent possibility of zombies and decided i needed to make a checklist to check my survivability.

Pros: I live in a studio apartment that has roof access and a single steel door with police locks. My neighborhood is well stocked with bodegas, grocery stores and chinese take out.

Cons: My apt. is on the second floor with floor to ceiling windows. I live in New York City, and this alone means the odds are greatly against me.

So, how 'bout you? Will you be planning your next move as carefully as I will be to survive the zombie infestation?

Move to the Arctic if you can stay warm there. The Arctic weather can freeze the zombies' legs to uselessness. Or move to the desert. I don't know how long a zombie could last with a dry body.

I will tell you once I find out what the hell you are talking about.

No, I'm screwed. I don't own a weapon, I live somewhere on the 1st story surrounded by an apartment complex whose highest story is.. 2. My door is made of wood, and I have easily accessible windows in many rooms. This place is a ticking time bomb.

I have a zombie-eating chihuahua. No problems here, mate.

I live in a one-story home with two entry doors and 8 windows, surrounded by others just like it. I won't be able to stay here when the zombies come, but I do own a lot of guns and propane so that might help me get to the truck and on my way to the nudey bar.

pros: 20 minute drive from the mountains, well armed, and errmmm wait a second! What the hell kind of thread is this anyway!?

I've planned carefully for this eventuality.

I live right next to a cemetary - but it has ten metre high walls. So when the zombies start animating, I can hear them scrabbling on the walls, giving me plenty of time to bail out the back - leaving only my complete collection of Buffy DVDs in a prominent position so they will waste time laughing at me rather than chasing.

My cat appears to be fond of dead and decomposing things, so I am training him to move up from mouse heads and bird bodies to human remains, via Whiskas catfood.

I live in a complex where the bottom floor (my floor) is partially beneath the ground and has large windows... zombies will start to clambor at my apartment just because its an easy path to take and they take to the dampness. I own only knives and a compound bow, but I'm skilled with them. I can take out at most 6 with my bow, then I will have to avoid their string-puppet limbs and cut them up with my knife. If they fill the halls and flood through the windows then it will be my destiny to die a warrior's death, brutalizing many a corpse, but eventually succumbing to the fleshy mass (and yes, I do mean the zombies).
