I will be with my family, so It won't be too big...

after about two weeks, most people will either be undead or fleeing to the airports, so I will gather supplies, equipment weapons(my weapon of choice at first will be a metal bat in my garage . Good reach and easily knock down any incoming dead. I would search for a crowbar and firearms) and anything else I can find. I would not want to stay at my house, as there are many ways of entry but there is not really anywhere else to go. The town I live in is mainly houses. Do you guys have any suggestions? The surrounding towns aren't much better. I would have to travel a good distance to get to any type of building over 4 stories. SUGGESTIONS ON MY NEXT MOVE?!?!?!?!
I would strongly recommend getting out of that house ASAP. A few days seems too long a stay in your home, let alone two weeks. As far as a strategy, that's entirely dependant on where you live. If you're close enough to the outskirts of the town, your best bet is a couple of cans of gas, whatever food and medical supplies you have on hand and getting the frack out of Dodge. If you can, stick to back roads and avoid main arteries whenever possible. The more people you encounter, the more risk you take of coming across people who either want your resources or want to band together with you to drain your resources faster. If you're with your family, stick with your family. A lot of people will tell you that there is strength in numbers, but there's a much greater risk for deception in numbers, as well as attracting too much attention to you and yours.

I would suggest finding a relatively remote chunk of land with either a cabin or a farmhouse on it, fortifying and staying low and quiet until you feel you are safe enough to start organizing a way to grow food. I would also strongly suggest looking for some place with natural, moving water like a river or stream. It will not only provide a source of drinking and cleaning water, but will provide a source for power as well.
