Step Two

Decide on a stable, reliable, temporary place to hide out for a few days. A house away from a populated area (i.e. mall). Big enough for the required people, but small enough where you can keep an eye on all the doors. As many bathrooms and bedroom as possible, with a fenced off back yard. Apartments will work, but not if you're trying to survive in big groups. Especially once the power goes out and the elevators stop working, there will be a lot of stairs to climb per trip up and down. And if zombies find a way inside the apartment, the only escape route is over the balcony. So if you decide to stay in an apartment, pick a floor that is high enough that zombies can't climb into, but is close enough to the ground that you can survive an emergency jump out of the window. Block off all stairwells from the inside, so that only you can open them. The good thing about apartment buildings is that you can scout through other empty rooms and find supplies other people have left behind. Also, most apartments have security cameras in the front lobby that can be watched on a channel through the television keeping a look out for zombies trying to break in.
