If you're like most people and aren't fully prepared for a zombie outbreak, you're going to have to rush for supplies, food, weapons, and anything else you may need to survive. Thankfully, an interactive zombie survival map has been developed that will give you quick access to helpful locations in your area.

Map of the Dead uses Google Maps to check your current location and lets you know the closest spots for gun stores, airports, hospitals, shopping malls, radio towers, and many other helpful areas. Of course, this won't guarantee your safety, but it would be quite helpful if a zombie outbreak happens while you're out of town or on the road.

If the zombie outbreak isn't just a virus and allows the dead to come back to life, another very helpful item is the cemetery marker, which lets you know which areas could be potential zombie hot spots.

Created by Jeff at Doejo, Map of the Dead has been getting quite a lot of coverage this week and they have plans to improve the site and release a multiplayer zombie game. To check it out for yourself, visit: http://www.mapofthedead.com
