I'm willing to bet that at *least* 80 percent of you don't have a family plan for the eventual zombie apocalypse. Luckily, there is a way to rectify that problem thanks to Safety Maps. Safety Maps is a website that lets you build and share your own self-created [emergency maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlasco-1).

Imagine not being able to get in touch with your family via the phone or Internet due to a [natural disaster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/documenting-for-disaster). Safety Maps helps you plan for such things and more (zombie apocalypse) by letting you make your own map online that can then be printed and shared. The map can pinpoint almost any area in the world and can be as broad or as focused as you choose. Safety Maps also lets you include a small note on your map, in case you think people will have a hard time understanding why Big 5 is the best place to meet in the event of a world collapse.
