Find highest functional point of the building and set up base. Find weapons, food, water and take them to the highest point. Make a type of removable and re constructable stairs. Inventory supplies and then begin plotting our escape so when then screams die down and the people stop yelling we can try and escape.

I'd go grab my crowbar.

(Because everyone on the Escapist loves obvious Half-life references right? <_<)

(EDIT: Oh, and the part about being the president: I would crowbar zombies to death while wearing a suit)

Those half life references must make it dificult to concentrate on card games.

I didn't realize everyone posting here is from USA.

But I guess the whole world is USA now! Hail Jeeeebus, KFC, and guns!

Canadian zombies are bound to be nice, anyways. Why bother fighting them, considering how retarded the idea that something dead will need sustenance is, anyways. I hate the whole "bloodthirsty zombie" idea seen in Romero films. It's good enough for a mindless slasher/FPS/action movie with no story, sure. But aside from that, fuck it.

If we're going to say "fuck you" to all realistic laws of nature, which we do if we accept any type of zombie aside from maybe the super-rabies kind, then why not have smart zombies?

I like what Terry Pratchett does with various undead, zombies and ghouls included, in his stories. So much better then the usual shit you see, ooga-booga evil dead and all.

spend 15 minutes thinking of some witty one liners. take airforce one, the first lady and kujo the dog to the town. land on a barn (cos it's kick ass). shotgun, shells, cigar, aviators, more clichés. no more zombies.

EDIT: in before: nuke the site from orbit.
Or do people not even think through their responses in zombie threads? Or read the OP, for that matter?

cordon off the area, use choppers to tell survivors to make their way to the cordon then carpet bomb the whole place with a few B-52's. cheaper and safer than a nuke, then napalm the whole area just to make sure. erect a biological control area and guard the whole place for a few weeks.

Call DARPA and tell them to get to work double time on a nerve gas that directly destroys the brain. America's military-industrial complex is absolutely PHENOMENAL. It is extraordinary how quickly they can develop, test an deploy new weapons. They should figure out how to make gas weapons within about 10 days. Look at how quickly they have developed other weapons like the bunker buster of the 1st Gulf War or the Thermobaric grenade for the US-Afghan war.

Air drop hundreds of gas masks and chem suits that residents can use to protect themselves from infection (if airborne) and warn them that a gas attack is coming.

Once the town and surrounding area has been thoroughly gassed, move in to extract any survivors with special forces air dropped to precise points to rally up survivors to specific extraction points to be picked up by helicopter.

Once all the civilians are evacuated, then systematically firebomb the entire area, set fire to the forests, dam or divert the rivers upstream, have helicopters fly over with incendiary ammunition to incinerate everything they don't like the look of from the air. Great thing about everything burning is that it removes most places to hide, no buildings, no trees, no bushes. Just caves. Reinforced structures that don't collapse in fire should be destroyed with JDAMs.

Above all, a "scorched earth" policy destroys all food and water supplies, so then I'd lock the entire region up TIGHT. Surround the entire area with the most trigger happy rednecks who'll shoot anything that comes near, but don't go in yet. Even firebombing and gassing will not kill all of them though the smartest/toughest that do survive will not last long with no food or water, nothing but dry river beds and ash. Treat it like a quarantine, let the virus "burn out" then move in after 40 days to clear up the mess.

There's plenty of online zombie strategy guides to look up. Also shooting a zombie in the heart kills them too, last I checked the heart pumps the blood, and reanimation takes a corpse and makes everything work again. Big ol' frickin' article about it (I really wish I could find it, fun reading (contains info about mind controlling wasps, plants and fungus, as well as stuff about how it causes insects to kill themselves and etc)), basically said a shot to the heart is as effective as a head shot, as destroying the heart prevents the blood to be pumped, this re-killing it.

Tanks and other AFVs makes it tough to get at soldiers squishy brains. People of would have 48 hours to get out or risk being shot.
