For the past five years a group based in St. Louis, Missouri has been preparing for just that?they call themselves Zombie Squad. A self-described "elite zombie suppression task force" they?re not only ready to defend your neighborhood from hordes of walking dead, they also spend much of their time raising awareness about the importance to disaster preparation.
