Zombie Squad
Zombie Squad is a national 501c(3) that promotes disaster preparedness. If you are ready for a zombie apocalypse you are ready for anything!
 Zombie Squad is an elite zombie suppression task force ready to defend your neighborhood from the shambling hordes of the walking dead. We provide trained, motivated, skilled zombie extermination professionals and zombie survival consultants. Our people and our training are the best in the industry.
 When the zombie removal business is slow we focus our efforts towards educating ourselves and our community about the importance of disaster preparation. If you are prepared for zombies, you're prepared for anything.
To satisfy this goal we host disaster relief charity fundraisers, disaster preparation seminars and volunteer our time towards emergency response agencies.
 Our goal is to educate the public about the importance of personal preparedness and self reliance, to increase its readiness to respond to disasters such as Earthquakes, Floods, Terrorism or Zombie Outbreaks. We want to make sure you are prepared for any crisis situation that might come along in your daily life which may include having your face eaten by the formerly deceased.
 We are your local chapter of Zombie Squad, ZSC011 (Oregon). We have been chartered since 2009. We were part of ZSC005 (Pacific Northwest) but splintered off the state of Oregon a year after 005 was chartered. We have promoted disaster preparedness and suppressed zombie incursions at events like the Portland Zombie Prom.
 Lately we have been supporting local charities like Lift UP, Meals on Wheels, and CAT. You can also find us volunteering for community service with NET and the Red Cross. On top of all that we do disaster prep seminars for HOAs, businesses, and other groups.
 -Gabe "Ninja-Elbow" Martin, President ZSC011 (Oregon)

We believe that spokesmodels within the industry should be able to talk shop and promote fandom and work, as well as embracing beauty in all shapes and sizes.
 
That being said, we are women united across the US through our shared love for the gaming world. Many of our members are young women with a passion for gaming, a penchant for the artistic and unusual, and brimming with energy and ideas – The D20 Girls offer them a chance to hone and focus their talents and their passion together. By participating in our event services, providing content for our publications, and playing an active role in the project each D20 Girls is building their own personal resume and skill set by embracing the things they enjoy. It’s the best of both worlds. http://ww4.d20girls.com/
