Okeechobee County Zombie Apocalypse Annex
to the
Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan*
*This
is an exercise in creative planning, combining several necessary response
concepts (i.e. response to a pandemic virus and a civil defense related
social uprising). This is not a part of the CEMP. |

Summary Statement -
Some questions have come up about this document, which I'd like to
answer. This document was created on personal time and equipment
as an exercise in creative planning. This is not a part of our
CEMP in any way. The reason behind using non-traditional scenarios
for planning purposes is to allow the planners to be creative yet
realistic with their responses. When planning for the same type of
event in the same location year after year, the decision making process
becomes very familiar. Because planners are already familiar with
the answers or responses to questions that the scenario brings forth, it
is likely that the planner will respond without thinking critically.
Changing the disaster scenario allows the planner to re-engage this
creative thought process, and address the "what-ifs" of the situation.
The hope is to generate ideas and concepts that will be able to be
removed from the fictitious scenario response, and applied to realistic
scenarios. This document was hosted here to allow other planners
easy access to it for their review and consideration. This plan
was taken from the Long-Term Recovery Annex to our County CEMP.
The County in no way endorses or recognizes this as any official plan,
nor is it ever intended to serve as such.
Since you are already here and reading this, please take the time to
review the remainder of the site for information about preparing
yourself, your family and your businesses for disasters. It is my hope
that any traffic to this site takes the time to review or download
materials they can use to better prepare themselves for true disaster
incidents. Please use whatever we have among our many information
pages, our templates and documents to improve your ability to be a
survivor.
Respectfully
Michael Faulkner

Abstract
Zombies are a popular figure in pop culture/entertainment and they
are usually
portrayed as being brought about through an outbreak or epidemic.
Consequently,
we model a zombie attack, using biological assumptions based on popular
zombie
movies. We introduce a basic model for zombie infection, determine
equilibria and
their stability, and illustrate the outcome with numerical solutions. We
then refine the
model to introduce a latent period of zombification, whereby humans are
infected, but
not infectious, before becoming undead. We then modify the model to
include the
effects of possible quarantine or a cure. Finally, we examine the impact
of regular,
impulsive reductions in the number of zombies and derive conditions
under which
eradication can occur. We show that only quick, aggressive attacks can
stave off the
doomsday scenario: the collapse of society as zombies overtake us all.
