* TechnicalAdvisor: Max Brooks did an extensive amount of research for the book, interviewing police officers, Federal agents, and FEMA personnel. Amusingly, he remarked that everyone he interviewed had put at least SOME thought into what would happen or what they would do in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse. This is in part because a lot of real-world agencies use the concept as a theoretical example of an Outside-Context Problem, to ensure they can deal with unexpected emergencies.
