Queensland Police have chosen World Zombie Day on Saturday to test a new disaster website.
Police plan to test a new disaster information website on Saturday, World Zombie Day, ‘by helping Queenslanders survive a possible zombie attack’.
Deputy Commissioner Ross Barnett says the aim is to get as many people as possible to visit the Qldalert.com page in one day, to replicate the traffic that would be experienced during a disaster.
‘The more people that do that the more we’ll be able to test its ability to withstand intense pressure,’ he told reporters in Brisbane.
The site would be a ‘one stop shop’ for public safety information during a disaster, he said.
At the height of Queensland’s January flood disaster the Queensland Police Facebook page attracted 450 views per second.
