Assignment task: Biohazardous waste has gotten into the water system and turned Manhattan into a Zombie Kingdom. It was something in that waste that created the undead population, who now must feed on human brains in order to survive. So far, more than 1,000 people in New York City have been killed and their brains removed. Police cannot kill these Zombies through traditional means as the only way to kill a Zombie is to destroy the brain (stabbing, shooting, crushing, etc.). Out of the 1.6 million people in Manhattan, 1 million of them are Zombies and the number is spreading quickly. The Problem: You have a Zombie Apocalypse in Manhattan. So far, it is just contained to Manhattan, but after the entire community is either killed or turned into Zombies, the population will spread. What do you do? How do you contain the city? How do you keep the Zombies from spreading? Your Review: Factor out the issues, follow official protocol and consider the questions above. What do you tell the public, especially those in and surrounding Manhattan?
