Before anything is done, let's list in descending order our set of priorities from most urgent to least: Transportation, weapons, shelter, food and water, allies.
— Transportation
Transportation is an absolute necessity in a post apocalyptic waste land. But first you need to use a vehicle. You don't possess any hot wiring skills to optimize travel so that's out of the question. Set forth in the vehicle you own and hightail it out to the country. Why, you ask? Because your vehicle travels faster than the virus can spread. Once outside city limits you've fulfilled your first imperative. (Later on you should attempt to acquire seafaring capabilities to search for zombie free locales, but only when you're fully prepared with provisions in tow.)
— Weapons
Without portable weapons, you're as good as dead so securing them is vital for ensuring your continued existence, whether from zombies or (even more terrifying) distressed humans. Now where to find them? Depending on the region, your chance of finding guns range from scarce to plentiful so take that in mind. Still, use your intuition and pay close attention to any sign of a potential gun owner (farmer in a secluded area, no trespassing sign, bumper sticker) to swipe/cajole a gun from. Once that's accomplished (along with ammunition and melee weapons) you've fulfilled your second imperative.
— Shelter
You need a suitable base of operations posthaste if you want to live another day. Your base must be tailored (if possible) to account towards the weaknesses of the enemy, in this case the zombie. Zombies are dumb, slow, and can't handle the cold too well so consider these attributes well. By this point you might also want to be aware of fuel limitations when selecting your base and its relative proximity to viable food sources.
— Food and water
The longer the zombie epidemic persists, the likelihood of subsisting on packaged goods decreases with each passing month. Time is of the essence. Once you've acquired a stockpile of food it's time to head towards the final step.
— Allies
At this junction you're already well established, it's time to canvas for allies to assist you in finding a zombie free Valhalla. You must find trustworthy allies that will help get you out of the continental mainland and onto a populous island (preferably one that has limited trade relations within the host country of origin of the zombie pandemic), aquire navigational tools to help guide you during your journey, and keep staff light to not dwindle food and fuel supplies.
If you’re done all that and survived. Congratulations, you win and live for many more days to come...
