Questions (because I have different answers based on their responses).

  • How much heads up do I get
  • What type of zombies, do they run or shamble? Infection or magic?

For the time based one, if you have enough of a heads up or are ahead of the panic, go north (does not apply with magic zombies). In America, get your ass to Calgary or Edmonton, for europe Helsinki. Zombies would freeze or slow down in the weather would prevent the majority from reaching your base. If those arnt options, find a location where the enviroment does most of the zombie killing for you.

If you dont have the heads up, you need to find a place to hunker down and set up a base quick. You need to pick a place you can get to without roads, and wont be on less prepared peoples high priority lists. If your in a city, get out, if your in the burbs, you got options, rural people can take their time, but also have the most work to do.

Personally, my zombie plan is to use a local 2-story school, they are designed in such a manner that they wont be broken into easily, you can secure the second story by knocking out the stairs, the field may be enclosed and they will have a nurses office, cafateria and woodshop.

All these preperations mostly apply to Infection zombies and are fine so long as they cant climb. Magic zombies are really going to be situational and surviving them will require knowing their rules. Survival is the name of the game, you cant fight the horde, so again, try and let the eviroment do that for you.
