It’s always good to be prepared for anything in DC and, we really do mean absolutely anything. No one really knows if a zombie apocalypse could ever occur but it never hurts to be prepared, right? So if you happen to be watching a zombie movie or The Walking Dead anytime soon, keep these 9 places in the back of your mind.
- DC Duck

- Mansion on O Street
Flickr/Rain0975 There are over 100 rooms and 70 secret doors inside this quirky museum so you can out smart the zombies by finding plenty of places to hide and escape in there.
- Capitol Visitor Center

The building takes up over 500,000 square feet and there are three floors where you can hide. There’s also a subway system underneath the Capitol so you can get around quickly you needed to.
- National Cathedral

- Dupont Underground

- Library of Congress

Not only is the Library of Congress huge but, much like the Capitol building, its buildings are connected by tunnel underneath. The tunnels connect the three buildings of the Library of Congress.
- National Arboretum
Flickr/pcouture The National Arboretum is 446 acres of gardens, fields, wooded areas that are connected by roadways and trails. If you are crafty can build shelter, you could do very well in the National Arboretum during a zombie apocalypse.
- Theodore Roosevelt Island

- Kingman and Heritage Island
