The justification is not that zombies are the same as a hurricane or flood, but that the preperation one would make in the case of either is similar.

The CDC is amazing now.

I just wish that they talked about the Brooksian zombie books. It's great reading for the zombiephobic.

Exactly. I can't drive down the road swilling beer and shooting a shotgun out of my CRASSUS ARMORED TRANSPORT at a hurricane.

Once they were featured in The Walking Dead, I guess the figured it might be a good idea to prepare as well.

True that. Its just not as satisfying.

What if it's a hurricane with zombies in it? No one said it would only be one or the other.

Well that wouldn't be fun at all. But I'd be perfectly safe watching tv and grilling steaks on the Weber in my CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. In Texas the CRASSUS ARMORED ASSUALT TRANSPORT even comes with a shotgun rack option.

Implying that chainsaws, jungle knives and machine guns would help you in the event of a natural disaster.

On the plus side, hummers would be a real boon for any natural disaster, so get one of those.
