In the western part of the Florida panhandle the city of Pensacola gives a strategic advantage for getting away from zombies. It also has two very well preserved fortifications on its coast. The first one of these is my first choice Fort Pickens. Pictured below.
It is accessible by two ways. One is a road that is only two lanes and could be easily destroyed. Two is by water and in all of the zombie material I have read zombies cannot swim. Fort Pickens has an open parade ground in the middle of the actual fort which would provide excellent for growing fruits and vegetables and having been preserved well many of its portions could still be used as apartments and private spaces somewhat normal life to continue.
A second location would be Fort Barrancas. On Pensacola NAS. Pictured below.

The reason this is the second choice is because it has some issues.
1. It has multiple access points.
2. It is not on an island to itself.
3. Mass amounts of people will make a run for functioning military bases for protection.
That is why Fort Pickens wins out in my opinion.
2. Boats
Pensacola is an boat community and as a boat community there will be massive access to boats of the undead.
With the use of these boats it would be easy to get to Fort Pickens and zombies don't know how to use boats either and unlike the roadways the inter coastal waterway will be loss clogged than the roadways. I have a feeling that people are not going to go for their boats first they will go for their cars first. I will go for a boat first.
3. Horses
Pensacola has another major resource the Escambia County Equestrian Center. At this location there are always horses and these would be an amazing advantage over cars on a day like this. Especially for when all of the fuel runs out. Scouting, hunting, and getting away from those pesky zombies would depend heavily on speed and horses give you speed.
4. Fish
In all of the zombie apocalypse material I have read I have not read about the fish population be heavily effected by the matter. With the human population greatly decreased and the commercial fishing business all but gone in the area Pensacola would be nothing short of a fertile fishing ground for being able to feed the people of your colony. Fish have many health benefits and would be great fertilizer for growing your veggies.
5. North Florida Loves Guns
North Florida is a very republican area. Especially since Pensacola is right next to southern Alabama and Mississippi. There will be no short supply of guns. There is actually a somewhat hidden gun store around the corner from my house and when I mean around the corner I mean around the corner. I can walk to it in five minutes from where I live right now. I am a card carrying member of the National Rifle Association and there are many people like me around this part of the state. Even our women and kids know how to deliver lethal force with an AR-15.
6. Rain Water
Pensacola is the second wettest city in the United States only to Mobile, Alabama. Now this might come from tropical storms and hurricanes but Fort Pickens has been weathering storms since it was first built. Water reclamation systems are relatively easy to build and this is another solid reason to pick Pensacola. Plus if there is a major hurricane it will wipe a large portion of zombies when the initial wall of water hits the city. Zombies can't swim. Wettest Cities in America
7. Getting a Tan Will Easily Distinguish You From the Undead
Why hide away in a cave when you can get a tan surviving the Zombie Apocalypse. The key advantage to having a tan is that it will easily distinguish you from the undead beings trying to kill you. Nobody is really into extremely white girls anymore. However, you don't wanna be this girl.
8. I am not Worried about Finding a Cure I am Worried about Surviving.
I would love to have a Medical Research degree but I do not. Therefore, I have to worrying about surviving and that is about it. If there is a cure then hopefully someone will find me on Fort Pickens and bring the cure to my colony.
So this is my synopsis on how to survive the Zombie Apocalypse on the Florida Panhandle meanwhile you should come and visit lovely Pensacola we have a lot going on this time of year. These are some of my favorite places to go. See y'all in a couple days with a new post.
