Wait, so I'd ONLY be aware of the outbreak when it hit my town?
Dude, that wouldn't happen. By the time the outbreak is worldwide, I'd have seen the warning signs and I'd be cooling my heels up in nunavut!
BUT for the sake of the topic, I'll play along.
First, I'd move any food/supplies to the upper floor of my house, and have everyone fill all the bathtubs and sinks and stuff with water. Once everything is upstairs, or if the zombies break in, have my dad use his buzz saw to destroy the stairs (our stairs are easy peasy to destroy). Then, go on the roof to put a bit HELP! message on it. And then wait for rescue.
Sadly, I'm right next to a food martket, a shopping mall, the town hall and the library. All places you should avoid in a zombie outbreak.
