Operation GLH

Notice: Operation GLH was officially completed on Friday, January 5th, 2007.

Operation Greening Lamport's Hills (also known as Operation GLH) was a program designed by Captain wfjeff of Lamport Hills with the goal of lowering Lamport Hills’ danger level to green. To do this, the suburb was divided into 11 sectors, each consisting of 4 or 5 buildings and 1 or 2 outposts (outdoor blocks).

One or two operatives were assigned to each sector from January 3rd through the 5th; they took screenshots of each building and outpost daily and then maintained the barricade levels for the duration of the mission. At the end of the three days, the data were compiled and analyzed to come up with an accurate and practically indisputable danger level for the suburb.

Outposts and Outpost Buildings

Outposts are outdoor locations that screenshots were taken of. They were spread out evenly throughout the suburb so that after all the screenshots had been taken, the zombie count for every square in the suburb could be determined. Although the screenshots were taken at different times which allows zombies to move and be counted twice, it also allowed zombies to move and be counted not at all. The law of averages should prevent this from causing a serious error, however, since the sample size is 300 (100 blocks times 3 days).

Outpost Buildings are Outposts which are located on building squares. Screenshots must be taken from outside the building so the zombie counts for the adjacent squares will be shown in addition to the ones taken inside the building. The only other difference between outposts and building outposts is that outposts show up on the Sector Map as borders with the same color as the sector that monitors them whereas building outposts appear as normal sector buildings but have black borders.

  • [54,6] the Hollwey Arms (VSB)

Outposts

  • [54,7] wasteland
  • [54,9] Hiscock Alley

Crew: Vikermac

Buildings

  • [58,6] the Deller Arms (EHB)

Timeline

Once the mission was complete all the data was compiled on this page. MFD Captain wfjeff of Lamport Hills then analyzed it through two methods, according to the danger survey on the suburb talk page and the descriptions in the Suburb Danger Level Colors template shown here. Lamport Hills was predicted to fall in the Moderate danger level as there hadn't been hostile hordes of 50 or more zombies since the DEM arrived in late November; however, in order to achieve a Safe danger level, it must be demonstrated that break-ins were rare. It had already been established that there were no organized zombie groups in the suburb.

Suburb Danger Level Colors
 
Safe

Structurally intact and inhabited by survivors, with numerous lit buildings, and few to no zombies.

 
Moderately Dangerous

Active zombies and break-ins, but no major hordes.

 
Intact

Structurally intact with few zombies, but a very low survivor population and few to no lit buildings.

 
Dangerous

Zombies inside many resource buildings and/or significant hostile mobs.

 
A Ghost Town

Mostly or entirely ruined, and devoid of significant survivor or zombie populations.

 
Very Dangerous

Most buildings wide open or zombie-infested and/or massive hostile zombie mobs.


Suburbs listed in boldface contain notable locations, groups, or events.
Factors beyond the scope of this map may affect the situation on the ground.

Day One

On day one there were 41 zombies and 153 survivors in the suburb. Without the 6 that were waiting at revive points that's well over a 1 to 4 ratio. There were 2 active break-ins, both on TRPs in the southeast corner, and they were over by the time the day two screenshots come in. Nearly 70% of the buildings were at barricade plan levels, and well over 90% are at VSB or above. There was little concern about overbarricading either; only 2 of 14 entry points were overbarricaded and 6 EHB buildings were at VSB. There were no zombie group tags or other evidence of active zombie groups in the area and the zombies in the area demonstrated little to no organization. Gentlemen, Lamport Hills is indeed very, very green.

Day Three

There were significant amounts of data missing for day two so it ended up being omitted from the survey. For day three 78% of the buildings were at barricade plan levels. 6% were overbarricaded, 9% were underbarricaded, and 7% were open. 77% of the suburb's entry points were enterable, and 24% of all buildings in the suburb were enterable. Three new break-ins occurred since day one, and two had been completely repaired. The ratio of living to undead was well over 1 to 4 discounting revive point queues and there was only one sizable group of zombies in the suburb (10 outside the breached PD in the NW corner).
