If you are alone
Are you alone and scared, try to keep yourself calm. If you have books to read, you can sit and read when you made sure that you can survive the day, if you move from place to place, you may not have as much to you. A book does not take much space and you can always use it as fuel for a fire, and then find a new one.
DIf you find other survivours try to team up with them or get them to join you if they are alone. But be careful when you approach others, you never know how they are, they can, for example, have become cannibals if there is a shortage of food.
The more you are in the team, the stronger you will be. But the more you get, the more food you will need and more space. Therefore it is a good idea to be at or near an area where you can grow food and protect yourself. Remain calm, maintain control.
If you have no team or they are dead, do not panic. Just to stay in a place where you can stay alive for a while. Can you run and find a car you can drive around and explore the environment while keeping your eyes open for signs of danger or others who do not become infected.
There is nothing wrong with talking to yourself if you are now completely alone, try finding a radio in case someone would send a message about where you could find more survivors or there was some other good news.
If you give up having to look for more and just thinking of survival in your safe place, it can happen if you are lucky that there are a few and find you. Never give up hope.
It's easy in theory to say that you will not be scared or that you can do with or without peers. But when / if it happens, you can almost guarantee that you will panic. But just take it easy and read your guide. Also try to get in touch with your friends, neighbors and relatives and try to get them to come and tell them where you want them to go to be safe.

If you have a team
Are you a number of people it is important that you keep a good relation and not become paranoid of each other. If you put energy on arguing, you will not be able to survive long then you may not have the energy to do other things or just go away because you're pissed.
If there is trouble, it must be resolved quickly, fairly and efficiently so that everyone will be happy and you will not shatter. Stick together.
Are you out looking for food or shelter so try to simultaneously keep an eye out for danger or more survivors. If you find more, try to get them to join you, just as you do when you are alone. But be careful, they may recently have been infected so let them go a little behind in order to reduce the chance that they turn and attack you. Therefore, you shall let them go a little behind so you can keep them on unattended. But they can also be dangerous in other ways so be careful and keep track of everyone who joins you at least for a while until you are sure that they are harmless.
Until you know what spread the infection. If there is physical contact, through blood (even splash) or air, you should keep distance from those infected and burn their bodies. If the virus is spread through the air, they should be buried, but it is airborne, I do not think we had made it threw it is hard to get hold of a working gas mask and filters to last a generations.
If it spread over the air, you will not be able to eat anything that has not been preserved, so I had then tried to kill as many infected I could before I became one of them and ended it any other way.
But one can not be sure of something that never happened or never occurs. We must start saying that Scouts "Always ready" and prepare for the worst
If it is "safe zones" you must choose. Will you go there and maybe travel for days or will you stay where you are and wait? The advantage of it is now made safe zones is that there are people who guard, there will be more people there. The disadvantage is that the journey there is perhaps a dangerous and long, then maybe they start to experiment on you to try and find a cure.
Do you have a car so strengthening it as best you can, put lattice or chicken wire in front of the boxes that they should not go down in a crash. A mobile home had been able to function as a mobile nest where it is difficult to destroy plastic, in addition, most windowsare small and zombies can´t get through them.
Do you have a vehicle you will one day run out of gasoline, diesel or ethanol, and then you will have to move by foot. But you might be lucky and have found bikes or use or animal that can pull a cart. If electricity works or you have found a way to get electricity eg solar or wind power, perhaps you can find or build an electric car.
Try to find out what everyone in the group had professional before infection came. If anyone was a doctor, that person can teach what to do, most professions have something you may find useful. The more you then teach you to change the easier it will be for you to survive and more of you may be able to survive.
Once you have found a safe area and built your base you reach a guard schedule, and a password. You can avail yourself of the military's trick with two words. It / they who guard asks eg pig you have come to agree that those who want or need to get closer to the answer, for example, scissors, and these words change you daily.
Unresponsive person is surely a zombie, answers the wrong person, it can be anything from a spy from another group or one who wants to join you.
Democracy, let everyone be heard if you're moving from one place to another. Will those who do not want to be heard, they might leave you, and you have to stick together as much as possible. Let not only your leader (if you have one) decide everything without anyone of you gets to speak.
Do you want to become the leader of the group, you have to be mentally strong and flexible, to do what is best for the group and not just for yourself. You can not hesitate any decisions but quickly decide how it will be. Do not make any decisions for yourself, ask what they had managed to do, but some you may need to decide what to do. You can not have too many to do the same.
Listen to what the other has to say and put the best of the group's best in front of your own.
