OMG It's the End of the World!
You just woke up from a nice peaceful sleep. You have a empty bag of Doritos to your left, 4 cans of Coke on your end table. Your remote is laying on your stomach. The TV was left on but the screen is all snow. You start to flip through the channels. Nothing. Still snow. Is the cable out? Did the neighborhood kids steal your satellite dish? You vow to seek revenge until you hit a channel that works. YAY!!! But Booooo! It's the stupid 24 hour news channel with some old man looking like death. You are about to turn the TV off until you see pictures of chaos, violence, hungry hungry "people". What is going on?!
You decide to go outside real quick to "check" on the neighborhood. As you slowly open the door, you open it just enough to see a sliver of the outside world. As you peek through the slightly opened door you see burning houses and cars. People running away. Your neighbor Bob just got attacked by a band of 5 year olds that are now chewing on his arm. You slam the door shut. Lock it. Move your big couch in front of the door and run back upstairs and hide under your bed while trying to listen to the news. What is going on?!
WELL ITS THE END OF THE WORLD! ZOMBIES ARE ATTACKING!
So what do you do now?

WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?!!?!!!!????
A Muggles Guide on what to do first
So you are now under your bed trying to process the death and carnage outside of your door. You try to think, why are there cannibalistic 5 year olds chewing on Bob's arm? Where is my family, roommate, dog...etc? However if you live alone YAY!!! Only yay because if you hear footsteps other than your own in your house, you know you may be in trouble. It may be an intruder or one of those cannibalistic mafia squad in your home.
After you pull yourself together you realize you need to fortify your home/apartment/dwelling. The first thing you need to do is make sure all the doors and windows are locked, but you need to make sure you try to do this in the quickest, safest and quietest way possible.
First, if you live in an apartment, great, because A.)its smaller you don't need to go through as many rooms as you do in a house B.) You don't have to fortify everything that you would if you were in a house. However there is a down side to that, if you are going to escape or leave your apartment, you have to remember there is a whole building that shares your hallway and/or the same entrance. So if you were to leave you need to leave quickly. If you live in a house, you need to check practically every room, attic included (if you have an attic). Exclude the basement. The basements are dark, on the ground level and the zombies could have broken a basement window to climb inside your house. You don't want to turn on that light because if they are in the basement, the light will just send off a signal that live fresh meat is not to far away. Just go ahead and block the door now. Nail it shut put a heavy piece of furniture in front of it, just make sure the door won't open. If you have an attic. Check that carefully because they maybe the safest place in the house to hole up for the time being because it is higher off the ground and if you have a pull down stair case for the attic, it will make the zombies more confused because they do not know how to pull the staircase down because it is "hidden".
Before you go and check for safety/fortifying your dwelling make sure you have a weapon handy. Take a look at your immediate surrounding. What do you have in your space that you can use as a weapon? Remember you don't want anything too heavy because the weight will tire you down and slow you down. If you have to hit/kill multiple flesh eating humanoids you want to do it fast but efficient. know your limits on what you can swing and how fast and hard you can swing it.If you have a gun, don't use it YET. You do not want to gain more attention to your location. Only use it if you are in dire needs. If you have something like a bat or some wooden/metallic type club or if you are into samurai swords....EVEN BETTER. They are quiet enough to put down those flesh eating things. Just remember, Hit first. Ask questions later! This is Your Life you need to save and hey IT'S THE FREAKING APOCALYPSE BABY, only the strong survive.
So now you have your weapon in your hand, open your door quietly. Walk to each room to make sure no one is in the room. Make sure as you walk pass the windows you look outside discreetly...kinda like a Ninja or a CIA agent. See but don't be SEEN. Remember to lock the windows. Not that the zombies or live humans couldn't just break the window to get in, but at least you can hear the breaking glass. This will give you time to either get your weapon and defend yourself, hide, or run like your butt has been lit on fire. Now that you see there is no one in your apartment, QUIETLY go to the kitchen or closet to get more weapons. Knives, cricket bat (Shaun of the Dead), other medieval weapons, nunchucks, or some weird comic con/geek weapon used in some movie/show you fanboy/girled over. Remember, take as much as you can but only as much as you can carry, because remember you ultimately WILL leave your dwelling. Grab your keys to your car and some small food and water. Put those in your backpack. Also, do not forget your license/ID & Social Security card. If you have your birth certificate, even better. Why do you need these? Well just in case you run into government types. You know how the government is, "all secret secret I need to know who you are before I let you in type of deal". So Keep these with you packed away. If you lose them, well yes its bad but just tell them, "HEY I WAS BEING CHASED BY BRAIN LOVING CANNIBALS!!!" then hopefully they will understand.Weapons need to be accessible at all times. What is the point of having them in your backpack if you can't reach them in time? Remember zombies are stupid, but they are violent, fast, and always hungry for flesh. Also, grab your cellphone, you never know if the cell towers are working. Now head back to your safe room. Try to have a room that has a television and/or a computer in it just in case there is still some news programs on or the re is still connection to the web.
Now that you are in your safe room, barricade the door with heavy furniture. Also, lock your windows if you are in a windowed room (you ultimately want a windowed room preferably close to the first floor near your car or one that is near a fire escape. You want more than one exit). Try to block any light coming into your room. Place a mattress or darker shades in front of the window. Remember, zombies will not just break into any house, they react first to sound then smell. Now check your house phone first to see if there is a dial tone. If there isn't the phone lines are down. Check your television, mute the sound. If you see a news network listen quietly to hear any type of news on what is going on. Check your computer to see if you can get online, if you can't your provider is dead. If you have a lap top and can search for a network good, check the internet for news, boards for people than are in need of help or providing help. See if you can connect to any of your friends or family. If you can't don't worry, they still MAY be alive. If you can't get a connection, DAMN. But still keep your laptop with you along with the charger, you may meet some geek computer wiz that can configure the cell tower wires to communicate with the satellite in space (hey it could happen). Now check your cell phone, if it works, again try to call your family/friends. If they don't answer, don't worry they still MAY be alive. If the cell phone doesn't work. No worries. Keep it, that computer geek wiz guy might be able to do something with it.
Now that you have barricaded yourself in the room and are relatively safe. Come up with a plan to get out of the room and to a place that can help you. You need to form a plan of where to go first. What do you need to keep yourself alive? Remember, you need to keep yourself alive, so thinking about going to look for family or friends may seem like the right thing to do, but is it the smart thing to do? Remember you need weapons, food, water, medicine, and maybe an RV (recreational vehicle. Yes it's big but it has everything you need and you can run zombies over with it). So now that you know what you need get your starter pack that you already packed (food water), throw on some comfy clothes that enable you to move (like cargo pants are ideal, many pockets for weapons) and a t-shirt & hoodie, and some sneakers. You need good running shoes, cause lets face it, if you are a bit chunky now, you won't be by the end of this because you need to RUN!
Now take a quick peek out your window to see if the coast is clear. If you are near your car and on the first floor, jump out the window and run to your car and drive away as fast as you can to the nearest gun shop/outdoors store or even a Walmart (preferably a Walmart like store. One stop shop for everything you need except the RV). If you are not near the car, remove the barricade at the door and carefully go to your front door and run to the car and repeat the previous steps as if you jumped out the window.
But hey, look right there, a person is waving for you to stop. Keep your doors locked first. roll your window down and yell, "ARE YOU BITTEN!!!!??????" if they say no, let them in. More people better chance of survival. If they said "I had a little chunk taken out of me", pass them by. You don't need the infected in your car. But since they weren't bitten, take them, you will need a partner to help stay alive.
NOW DRIVE!!!!
A Wizard's first Response
A wizard, although, magical, is also in danger from a zombie attack. Because unlike non magical people, a cloaking/shielding charm will not work on a zombie. Why do you ask? Well because the zombie is dead. The zombie reacts to its senses (the smell, the desire for flesh/brains, and it's hearing) and the magical world can't hide itself from the dead world. UNLESS, you are an animagus. Since only the highly skilled and powerful witch/wizard can transform at will into an animal, it would be beneficial to hopefully have one them in your group. Why? Well since their body changes into animal form, their human form is not sensed by the zombies or the zombies pay no attention because they crave human flesh. While in animal form they can retrieve certain objects for you to help aid you in your survival.
So what you first need to do is still follow the same rules as the muggles response. You need to make sure your surroundings are secure and safe and you also grab a few necessary items like the muggles do. Maybe to not that extent but don't forget your wand, broom, food and water. Send your owl to any of your friends to see if they are still alive. If you have a two way mirror where you can talk with one of them, try that. If you can't try to apparate to the ministry or your friends house to find out what is going on and what you can do. Since this is a crisis, if you are underage, the law against underage magic is lifted and you may use any type of spell to defend yourself and get to safety. Now good luck and FLY AWAY!! (or Floo network it)
