They did not reference Shawn of the Dead, so you know that it isn't canonical.

Oh sure, the CDC pretends like they know how to deal with the zombie apocalypse, but anyone who watched the first season of The Walking Dead knows otherwise.

possibly, but the actual CDC zombie page is a real emergency preparedness page. If you read it, you no doubt noticed that they stress that being prepared for a zombie attack is similar to other emergencies and then go on to present relatively standard emergency preparedness information.

In the world of emergency preparedness, it can pay to have an unusual approach.

Some of the comments are quite funny, however.
