Either Cuba because of its seclusion and working weapons leftover from the cold war or anywhere in the Rockies preferably British Columbia as zombies freeze in the winter which just means you have to worry about spring cleanup when they thaw. C'mon none of you fools read world war Z?
Max Brooks is Mel Brooks' son..... His tongue and cheek ditties (The Zombie Survival Guide, and now, World War Z), sure have made him a zed expert for some...
Of course hes an expert on zombies. They dont exist, in the non Haitian Voodoo way. I mean if I wrote a book as thorough as he did on the subject of crocodile fairies, id be regarded as an expert on them and youd have to take my advice on how to survive them.
Truth be told, Max Brooks created his books as a bit of fun(and, of course, to make some cash). He said so himself. He was shocked by how many people asked him serious questions about zeds during his lectures... Some people! :P
Furthermore, he is not the final word on the depiction or the concept of zombies. Zombies have been depicted in media as far back as, "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" and "Metropolis". These were simply not of the flesh eating variety. We have Richard Matheson and George Romero to thank for being the authors of this new kind of zombie.
I don't believe that experts exist in this imaginary genre. There is one thing to be an expert about the history of zombies in media. There is another thing to "proclaim" that you now surmise that zombies can fly and you are going to write a bestselling book about it and therefore everyone now believes that zombies can fly. That's akin to someone writing about a Leprechaun that can break dance.
The primary problem with the zombie franchise, as I see it, is that no one laid down any ground rules in the beginning of this horror genre about what "exactly" a zombie is and is not and what "exactly" it is capable of and what it is not capable of so...as a result....you get a bunch of bullshittery taken as Bible. This genre needs standards.
There are actually some similarities to the malformed and diverse takes on this subject matter as there were when the World Wide Web was first invented. Different browsers rendered different depictions of content. Thankfully, web standards was introduced and agreed upon and now you can see one version of, say, the CNN, website, versus a different version, based upon "which" browser you use.
That's probably because they're dead and their digestive system doesn't work properly anymore, so whatever they eat just sits in their bowels and rots away along with the rest of their body until they're completely decomposed.
Which Base Would You Choose During The Zombie Apocalypse?

PS
I'm going to write a bestseller zombie book about why they gorge themselves on human flesh and you never see them taking a crap.
