Question 1

Which of the following should you keep in your zombie emergency kit?
A)Food and water
B)Important documents
C)A gun for every person in your household
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

All of the above
Emergency kits should contain all the supplies that you might need in the event of a zombie apocalypse, including food and water, medical supplies, important documentation, duct tape, and weaponry with ample ammunition. Government emergency response services, including possible rescue missions, may take several days to reach your location, and you'll have to hold off the shuffling hoards until then. Plus, duct tape is always useful.

Question 2

How many gallons of water should you keep in your emergency kit?
A)Ten gallons
B)One gallon per person
C)One gallon per person per day
D)Three gallons per person per day

Accepted Answer

One gallon per person per day
How much water you will need depends on how many people are in your household. One gallon per person per day may seem like a lot, but remember that you will need water to make food and drink, as well and clean up the splattered detritus from your battles with the zombies.

Question 3

Which of the following is NOT an important document that you should keep in your emergency kit?
A)Driver's license
B)Zombie virus vaccination certificate
C)Bank account card
D)All of these documents are important

Accepted Answer

All of these documents are important
Your driver's license or other forms of identification, the leases and/or deed to your home, and a bank account card or other bank information, and medical forms including proof of zombie virus vaccination, are all important documents to keep in your emergency kit. In the middle of a zombie apocalypse they might seem superfluous, but once life returns to normal it will be much easier to prove who you are, and that you aren't infected, if you keep these documents safe. However, in the case of the lack of a zombie virus vaccine development, don't worry as much, as you'll all be dead soon anyway.

Question 4

How many days' worth of food and water should you keep in your emergency kit, at minimum?
A)Three days for water and two weeks for food
B)Three days for both food and water
C)Two weeks for both food and water
D)Two weeks for water and six weeks for food

Accepted Answer

Three days for water and two weeks for food
The CDC recommends keeping a minimum of three days' worth of water and two weeks' worth of food for your household in event of zombies and other emergencies. More water is necessary if you do not have access to a nearby water source or if the main water supply becomes contaminated with the zombie virus.

Question 5

You decide to store your emergency water using your own containers. What important step should you remember to add to the storage process?
A)Use extra-cold water to reduce the possibility of contaminants
B)Use extra-hot water to kill any zombie viruses in the water
C)Use only special containers marketed for the purpose of long-term water storage
D)Clean and sanitize the containers before you fill them up with water

Accepted Answer

Clean and sanitize the containers before you fill them up with water
When using your own containers to store emergency water supplies, remember to clean, bleach, and rinse them thoroughly before filling them with water. This will keep germs such as the zombie virus and other contaminants from spoiling your emergency water supplies. Any container previously used by a zombie, or anyone who later turned into a zombie, should never be used for water or food storage. Burn all of them.

Question 6

Because of the zombies on the ground, emergency response teams are only surveying your neighborhood by air on helicopters. Which of the following items should be in your emergency kit that you could use to draw attention to your location to be rescued?
A)A whistle
B)A flashlight
C)Fireworks
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

A flashlight
While a flare would be better, a flashlight is still a good way to alert attention to your location. A whistle is unlikely to be heard above the noise of the helicopter (except by zombies!) and fireworks are too dangerous to be in your kit in the first place. However, as a means of last resort, fireworks can be used as weapons to commit harm or to distract and confuse the zombies.

Question 7

Do you need to replace the water in your emergency kit, and if so, how often?
A)No, you don't need to replace the water
B)Yes, you should replace the water every month
C)Yes, you should replace the water every six months
D)Yes, you should replace the water every year

Accepted Answer

Yes, you should replace the water every six months
Store-bought water containers can expire, and even well-stored water can go bad. Replacing the water in your emergency kit every six months will reduce your chances of running out of clean water in the event of a zombie apocalypse.

Question 8

Looking through your emergency food supplies, you decide to add some canned soups, fruits, and vegetables. How long do you have until you need to replace these foods?
A)Three months
B)Six months
C)One year
D)Three years

Accepted Answer

One year
Canned foods such as soup, fruit, fruit juice, vegetables, and nuts should be used or replaced within one year.

Question 9

Where should you store your emergency kit?
A)In your mailbox or P.O. box
B)In your back yard
C)In your closet
D)In a safe at the bank

Accepted Answer

In your closet
Close to home is the best place to store your emergency kit. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, banks and post offices will likely be closed, so you would be unable to access securely stored items there. It may also be unsafe to venture outside because of roaming zombies, so a yard or an external mailbox are also non-optimal locations. Your closet, or anywhere else easy to get to at home, is the best place to store your emergency kit.
