Check if anyone you know was involved, or knows someone involved.
This is one of the first steps involved in determining what exactly happened and where the infected may have come from or gone too. It will also be important to find out if these people had been attacked during the outbreak.

Go zombie hunting!
A Class 1 outbreak does not mean open season on the undead. For one, a Class 1 does not pose a huge threat if it is kept in check and there will be a limited number of infected. Second and more important, the law does not acknowledge zombie slaying and killing of zombies in a small scale will be observed as murder. Best left to nonlethal means unless absolutely necessary.

Hide in your panic room.
Panic rooms are for emergency situations to protect yourself for a limited time. If the outbreak were to be Class 2 or heaven forbid Class 3 the panic room would be a good idea to hide it out or even to stay safe for the first few days or a Class 4. But would be relatively pointless in a Class 1.

Grab a few extra supplies like bottled water and canned foods.
Never a bad idea. In this case a great idea.

Search out someone directly involved and get the details.
Very similar to the first option. The difference is this involves actively going searching out and contacting someone who was in the outbreak himself.

Gather your friends together to hide in your panic room.
If going to the panic room alone was extreme, this is the icy on the cake.

Inform the people you trust what the situation is.
This can be the hardest thing to do as a survivor but it must be done, the ones really worth the trust will accept what you have to stay and at least humor the possibility of danger.

Keep a close eye on the news.
This is a must. Don't just watch one station or website but look at as many different feeds from the area as you can find. It is important to note much of this information will not be the truth but if sometimes you can find something that isn't completely false or hidden.

Ignore any suggestions this may not have been zombies.
Well... if this is the course of action taken after an outbreak being confirmed the person who does this will not survive very long after the fall.

Once an outbreak is reasonably certain to be a Class 1 it is important to know as much about it as possible. This is still an information gathering phase. The reason being is that unless directly involved there is no way to be 100% of anything, outbreak status, number of infected involved, termination of all infected, etc. There is no call as of yet to begin searching out the infected as local law enforcement or those on hand can likely handle the situation. If they cannot handle it the person gathering information will hopefully see the signs of a bigger Class 2 or even 3 outbreak before it begins. And those signs are the cue to begin taking a little more extensive measures.

Stay vigilant, may the infection never reach you, and those close to you have the resolve to do what is needed should you be so unfortunate, Mike D.
