What Is A Zombie Apocalypse?
As kids make this fun craft, they may have heard of the Zombie Apocalypse. Of course, you could go with the scare tactic that there may be an emergency situation where everyone turns into zombies. But, you could also head to the CDC website about zombie preparadness. Here, the CDC explains that there are lots of emergencies that we should prepare for such as hurricanes, deadly viruses, or other disasters. The zombie apocalypse is just a way to get people thinking about being prepared with things like:
- Water
- Food
- Medications
- Tools and Supplies
- Sanitation and Hygiene items
- Important Documents
- First Aid Supplies
I mean when it comes to a zombie apocalypse its better to be safe than sorry!
