There's been an outbreak in the DC Metro Area causing a change in some residents' behaviors and cravings. All of the affected seem to have attended a county fair. Statements have been gathered from friends and family members of people who attended the fair, which will be used to figure out where the virus originated to prevent further spread.
Based on Disease Detectives: Zombie Outbreak created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The number of roaming people in the DMV who've been infected with the zombie virus has grown to emergency proportions and they're headed straight for Alexandria. Thinking as leaders and emergency personnel, participants will develop a plan to keep residents safe. This activity contains descriptions of zombies invasions along with other emergency situations.
Based on the Emergency Response Simulation created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The worst of the zombie attacks have subsided... for now, but the City's been devastated. It's time to rebuild. Participants will identify vital components needed to make a community thrive and devise a system to project against future zombie invasions.
Based on Guide to Expanding Mitigation: Making the Connection to a Zombie Apocalypse produced by Federal Emergency Management Agency.
