Someone apparently hacked into the Emergency Alert System and announced on KRTV and the CW that dead bodies are rising from their graves

    Now, that is a proper hack. Amusing, no harm done, yet still lets the hackee know their systems are vulnerable.

    Great Falls isn't exactly a hotbed for religious nuts.

    I hadn't even thought about where it had taken place, I was just imagining the reaction to anyone who may have believed it, even if just for a moment.

    This is not as much of a joke as the hacker think it is considering both BC and now Quebec government have discussed Zombie apocalypse disaster planning.

    If zombies do eventually strike in Quebec, the province's public security department wants to be ready.

    Participants at an annual symposium on civil security next week will be discussing how to handle a zombie attack in the province, among other topics.

    The zombies, of course, are hypothetical.

    But a ministry spokesman assures the zombie exercise has a serious purpose: the living dead-themed drill is meant to illustrate a real-life catastrophic event.

    The idea behind the exercise is that if you're ready for zombies, then you're probably ready for any other disaster that may strike.

    Hypothetical zombie attacks have been used in exercises on emergency preparedness in the United States.

    Last May, British Columbia conducted a similar exercise, offering tips on how to prepare for and fend off a fake zombie apocalypse.

    The B.C. government said at the time that it hoped the exercise would generate awareness of social media tools that could help the public in real emergencies.

    The general point of most of the "official" talk on zombies is firmly tongue-in-cheek. It's a joke way of rinding people they should probably have materials for at least 72 hours of survival. It's a creative way to make people smile and listen.



    Good point. At least it would work on a certain demographic.
