As for the actual article I composed, it was interesting to see what's going on around campus to prepare students for an emergency even without zombie-related questions.
The inspector at MSU's police department, the dude who's in charge of the emergency management team, said he doesn't know if the officers who help out at AOP have an emergency preparedness presentation set up.
It was reassuring to hear Joe Petroff, the main emergency dude at MSU, say that we are pretty well taken care of for emergency supplies, food, and water on campus. Soon after though, I asked him the zombie question and he replied, a zombie outbreak or pandemic is hard to quantify in terms of impact, and he can’t guarantee “that bad things don’t happen when there’s an emergency.”
I wouldn't say we're totally screwed if some big disaster would happen, but I think we could all learn a little bit more and maybe replace fire drills with meetings telling us where emergency exits are or even evacuation procedures.
I would really like to see this article, or another like it, published at some point in the State News, and not just because I want people to see my awesome work. Obviously, nobody has any idea what to do around here except listen to their resident mentors, who aren't even required to be CPR certified or anything, during a disaster. Some students even said they wouldn't listen to anybody and they would just do their own thing. Seriously, if you're reading this and you go to MSU, at least sign up for emergency text-messaging.
