Subject: Increase in Reported Zombie Activity — Public Advisory
The NSW Government has received a series of reports of alleged “zombie attacks” across the state over the past decade. While there is little verified evidence of the living dead, citizens are reminded to remain vigilant and prepared for unusual disturbances.

Zombie Preparedness Tips
Avoid panic — Zombies (if encountered) respond poorly to screaming in high-pitched tones.
Protect your brains — A sturdy bicycle helmet provides style and cranial defence.
Check local sausages — If offered cold snags by a stranger, decline politely.
Identify before engaging — Ensure suspected zombies aren’t just sleep-deprived uni students.
Travel in groups — Zombies favour solo targets (and tourists with selfie sticks).

Statistics
Over the last 10 years, NSW has averaged 20 confirmed zombie-related fatalities per annum. This represents a 15% increase in confirmed cases compared with the previous decade.
