Planning and mental preparation will be critical to surviving the catastrophic societal meltdown that would occur in the wake of a zombie uprising. The Zombie Defense Brigade is a military and civilian collective with a shared mission: to promote emergency preparedness and increase zombie awareness in anticipation of the inevitable apocalypse. To this end, the Brigade acts as both quartermaster and information source – outfitting its members with survival gear while maintaining a data network where they can undertake missions and augment their survival skills and knowledge of the enemy. Brigade members hail from places throughout North America, united by a commitment to assisting the Resistance and reestablishing social order in the post-apocalyptic world.
