Being 15, my plan might not be taken seriously, I might end up in the traffic jams during The Panic.

The first thing we would do on hearing about the zombies is barricade the windows. Then we would proceed to move food, pets, family members, to the center of the house. Then after about 3 weeks, or when we run out of food, we would start to consider bugging out.

We would take the highway south to Destin (about 20 miles), avoiding any zombies along the way. If we run out of gas, or have engine problems, we would dump everything except bare necessities, then proceed on foot. Arriving in Destin, we would go to the harbor and try to find a boat (preferably a sailboat). If we could not find a boat, we would look in all of the residential docks.

Upon finding said boat, we would start sailing westward, sticking to the coast and picking up any boats and survivors we run across (Admiral Thomas). Eventually, we would make it to Fort Gaines. The reason I picked the fort is because I know the area well and it is near the Gulf.
The first thing we would do, other than clearing out the zombies that may be there, would be to check the defenses and block the lower cannon ports. Then we would set up a watch schedule. We would get our water from the fort's well, and grow our food in the courtyard. But in the time it takes to grow the food, we would have to organize raids into the local buildings, the closest being 100ft away from the wall.

After we have gotten a good harvest of whatever we decide to grow, we would start to lessen the raids. At that point, we would attempt to contact anyone in the vicinity, whether friend or foe. If they are not hostile, we would check them for bites, then let them in with limited privileges. If they are hostile, then we would deal with them. Slowly, we would expand outwards into the town around the fort, and it would assume more of a medieval role, being a place to run retreat to.

When the apocalypse hits, me and some of my friends and all of our families are headed to our school. The school is within a few miles of all of our houses. We will fit as much food and water into our cars as possible. One of my friends is supplying the weapons (he's a gun nut who has plenty of guns and ammunition). Another one of my friends parents own multiple grocery stores. Another one of my friends has many barn animals that can provide us with resources (sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs). The school is near a large forest filled with wildlife and a lake plentiful with fish. The school's walls are made of thick and strong bricks. Our main camp would be on the roof. There is only one way to get up there (first, you go through a locked door into a small closet where you have to pull down a ladder and then climb it). There are some weaknesses though. There is a large library with many windows (possible solution: use the bookcases to completely block out the windows). There are a good amount of entrances and many of them are made of glass (possible solution: being a school there are many large desks and tables to barricade entrances). Another advantage is the gym. Our gym has baseball bats, bows and arrows, and other bludgeoning weapons. What do you think of our plan?
