Now think about this for a moment. You wake up in the morning just like any other day. You hear a loud 'smash!'. You look out the window to see a car wreck and people running frantically. Zombies are chasing after people. Smoke fills the sky. You scramble to the TV only to find the Emergency Broadcast system in full effect. Every Channel is news of these zombies. If you have kids--they come up to you in tears due to all the loud sounds/screams outside and are terrified. Your spouse starts screaming 'What is going on!!!??" You are trying to take it all in while you are still trying to wake up. So far, nothing has tried to come through the window.. Your doors are still locked from the night before. Your car is sitting outside or in your garage. You have a basement and your pantry is still somewhat full. You do not have a gun in your possession.
What do you do? Think about it. List a detailed plan of action about what you would do. Do you flee? Do you stay put? Where would you go? Why would you stay? It is now a 'survival of the fittest' and you are thrown into it. Your chances are slim you would escape this in the end...but what is your immediate plan of action?
Answer
First action would be to secure the house. We always have some basic construction supplies here like nails and screws and a little scrap wood but you can use anything(couches, tables, wood from closet doors) to board up windows and doors. Now after that if I decide to stay there is a less chance of them getting in and if I bail I can take my time and gather as many supplies for the trip as possible and wait until an opportune time to make a run for the car.
Since you have no way of knowing the severity of the situation I would say the best bet is to wait it out for a little while in case it is a controlled outbreak like a virus just in your area or something making people go bat-shit crazy. But after a day or so if there is still no way of communication to the outside and no rescue efforts have been made its time to get the fuck out of dodge.
After the waiting period I would pack all the non perishable food we have and whatever weapons we can find. Since you listed that you have no guns I would go with tools and sporting equipment, I know that we have a sledge hammer/axe here, a machete, brush hook, several baseball bats, and a crowbar so all of those would work. And if you really want to get creative here we have a bunch of sports pads you could rig up some zombie armor with. Mostly Football, soccer,paintball and field hockey pads, but you can use things like a thick leather jacket and gloves, a couple pairs of blue jeans or paintball pants would work well enough to keep scratches and bites from getting through. Harder to cover your head but paintball masks, 4-wheeler or bike helmets, or just a pair of goggles and a hood if thats all you got is better then nothing.
Then after getting geared up I would either have us all make a dash for the car or if there were a few zombies hanging around right by the house me and my brothers(or anyone who was there big enough to swing a weapon effecitively) would go clean house then bring out everyone else.
Then take the car as far west(since im on the east coast) away from the area as possible in hopes that whatever it is hasnt spread that far. But lets just assume a worst case scenario and that we cant outrun the infection so when I started getting low on gas,like maybe a 1/4 tank not wait until its already freakin empty, I would just start looking for grocery stores and any place that would have a large supply of non perishable food and water. Even a convience store or gas station would work for awhile if thats all you can find.
Again Im going to assume the worst in that either everyone else had the same idea and the supplies do not last nearly as long as we need them to. So you would be forced to leave, you can either try to scavenge for a car if your lucky enough to find some keys where ever you stayed but That would take way too long for me. I would just break into one and hot wire it, but most people do not have those skills you could also syphon gas. Its not hard look it up if you dont know how. All of those things take some time though and require you to be out in the open so your gonna have to know how to fight them off. This is probably the time your most likely to get eaten if your not careful or very well equiped and trained.
Then I would just keep repeating the process of stopping at any place that looked like it would have useful items once we were running out and keep heading west until we get to some butt crack middle of nowhere place that even if zombies had taken over theres only like 12 people in the whole town so its not a big deal. then just hunt and fish for food and make a shelter.
Thats what I would do in your situation. If it happened for real It would be a lil different for me since I have about 8 guns and a couple hundred rounds of ammo, and about a month or so worth of water and MRE's stored here. I'm a marine and ive tought both my brothers how to shoot and we all are about 6 foot 3 and over 220 pounds and take martial arts so I'm pretty confident we could just hold down the fort. Not everyone is that luckly to be so well prepared but its the people like us who are prepared that are most likely the ones who would survive. If youve got no gear it probably means you've got little to no survival training also so your gonna be pretty much fucked.

Can you survive a zombie apocalypse?
Infinus
okay i need about six to ten steps on how to survive a zombie apocalypse including what guns to use, where to go and what level of compassion i should have for other people.
Answer
1. Gather resources such as food and water. You can't survive more than a few days without that.
2. Don't consider using only guns. While any firearm will help, ammo is limited. A simple bladed or blunt weapon can kill more undead than a pistol with only seven shots left in its magazine. If you need a firearm with you, a shotgun is a good way to go. It's spread fire will help when surrounded.
3. Wear clothes that cover all of your body. Wearing cargo shorts and a t-shirt isn't going to protect you from a ravenous corpse but having leather gloves and jackets can fend of bites.
4. Figure out a way of transportation, cars and automobiles are good but they need gas. Running out of gas in the middle of a city filled with zombies is death. Bikes offer little protection but are useful.
5. Figure out where to go, examples of bad places? Areas where people gather such as cities, malls, parks, hospitals, schools. The rural country with plenty of open space is your best bet.
6. Help those when it doesn't involve putting your life in danger. This is more like common sense but hey, some wannabe hero might stupidly become a martyr. If you see a little kid with no one around, go ahead and save him. If you however see a couple surrounded by twenty zombies, run like hell in the other direction. This is really a personal choice. If you're stuck in a hellish reality, sometimes doing good deeds keeps you sane.
7. Wait. Move. Run. Simple really. If your location is calm and quiet, stay. If it isn't, move and run.
