Editorial Policy

This policy explains how Dells Zombie Outbreak produces, reviews, and updates content.

1) Editorial mission

We publish practical resilience and incident-response guidance for trucking and supply chain operations. Our goal is to help teams:

• reduce preventable incidents,
• respond consistently when incidents occur,
• document events properly, and
• learn quickly to prevent repeat failures.

2) Content types

We generally publish:

• Playbooks: step-by-step “what to do” guides for specific incident scenarios
• Operational checklists: printable lists for dispatch, safety, and management routines
• Explainers: definitions and context for operational concepts (exceptions, dwell, claims workflows)
• Tooling guidance: how teams can structure documentation and handoffs (non-vendor-specific unless stated)

3) Editorial standards

We aim for content that is:

• Actionable: clear next steps, not vague suggestions
• Operationally realistic: assumes limited time, partial information, and human error
• Specific about scope: we state assumptions and boundaries
• Consistent: terms are used consistently across articles

4) Fact checking and review

Depending on the piece, our review process may include:

• Checking primary sources (regulatory guidance, official publications, vendor documentation where relevant)
• Cross-checking with multiple independent sources
• Reviewing for internal consistency and operational feasibility
• Consulting subject-matter experts when a topic is high-risk or technical

We do not publish content that claims certainty where none exists. When a topic varies by jurisdiction, carrier policy, or contract terms, we say so.

5) Conflicts of interest

We may publish sponsor-supported content. When we do:

• it is clearly labeled (e.g., “Sponsored,” “Partner Content,” or equivalent),
• we maintain editorial control over claims and clarity,
• we do not allow sponsors to require misleading conclusions.

If we use affiliate links, we disclose that on the page and/or in the footer disclosure.

6) Corrections, updates, and removals

We correct factual errors as soon as reasonably possible after verification.
If an article is materially updated (not just grammar), we may add an “Updated on” note.

To request a correction:

• Provide the URL
• Explain what is incorrect
• Provide a reliable source (if possible)

We may remove content if it is no longer useful, is misleading due to changes in the environment, or cannot be updated responsibly. When removals occur, we try to preserve a record of the change.

7) User-submitted content and comments

If we accept user submissions, we reserve the right to:

• edit for clarity, length, and safety,
• reject content that promotes unsafe behavior or misinformation,
• remove content that violates our policies.

8) No legal or insurance advice

Our content is educational and operational. It is not legal advice, insurance advice, or a substitute for professional guidance tailored to your situation.
