Survivor Security Zone

The Malton world view highlighting the Survivor Security Zone. Each mall has a (roughly) 10x10 green square projected out from the center of the mall. The Survivor Security Zone is near the center of town where four malls fall within close proximity.

The Survivor Security Zone (a.k.a. the SSZ or the Zone) is a specific area near the center of Malton where four malls and other resources are located closely together, allowing for efficient territory protection. The Survivor Security Zone has a high concentration of resources compared to all other areas of Malton. The Zone is different from other tactical initiatives in that it spans multiple suburbs (at least five have important resources), and cuts some suburbs in half.

Main suburbs: Stanbury Village, Roftwood, Tollyton, and Pimbank.

Other suburbs with limited coverage include Edgecombe, Crowbank, Ridleybank, Shackleville, and Peppardville.

Radio communications in the SSZ are on frequency 26.17 MHz.

The physical boundaries of the Survivor Security Zone are defined by the proximity of four malls: Tynte Mall to the north, Woodroffe Mall to the south, Hildebrand Mall to the east, and Nichols Mall to the west. Projecting out a 10-block "square of influence" from each of these malls, and combining the overlapping areas defines the boundaries of the Security Survivor Zone. The boundary has also been extended a couple blocks in a few places to "annex" some police stations on the perimeter. Having a large number of these rim PDs manned and outfitted with powered radio transmitters acts as an early warning system for the Zone.

Zone Core

The Core is in the center area of the Zone, and contains the Zone headquarters. It is made up of four Police Departments, two hospitals, and one NT. These should be the primary fallback resources in the event of any large-scale compromise, and serve as the staging area for retaking a compromised territory.

Core Resource Buildings

• Joyner Boulevard Police Dept (62, 54) (Zone HQ)
• Grimshaw Road Police Dept (62, 52)
• Mayo Row Police Dept (62, 52)
• Dempsey Grove Police Dept (64, 53)
• Eligius General Hospital (65, 54)
• The Greenhow Building (65, 54)

Zone Defenders said:

Responsible barricade policies are ones that include access to resource buildings as well as strategically placed safehouses. Free-running lanes must be taken into consideration, especially when planning for a zombie assault. Although we generally reference the Uniform Barricading Policy, local adjustments are vital for survival as well. Maps that can be easily referenced should be listed on each suburb's wiki page, and discussion is encouraged.

Communications

	Short-wave Radio Info
	This group or location has a dedicated radio frequency. Frequency: 26.17 MHz Transmitter Coordinates: The Survivor Security Zone

We will be using the frequency 26.17 -- the official Radio Map frequency for the SE-2 District. Three of the four main areas in the Zone fall within this district.

Pimbank to the North is in the NE-4 District. Residents are encouraged to establish 26.17 as the official radio frequency.

How Can I Help?

To help in the creation and sustainment of the Survivor Security Zone, you need to do a few things:

• If you are a player without a group, Join the Zone Defenders group, or another group that supports the SSZ.
• If you are in a group, talk to your leaders about supporting the zone. If you're the leader, add your name to the list and have a liaison join the SSZ forums. Groups can easily adopt their own section of the Zone to patrol, and all groups will need to coordinate efforts and work together to keep the Zone safe for all survivors.
• Relocate to the Zone itself. Tune your radio to 26.17, and pick an area or specific location to support.
• Spread the word. Speak out. Tag Buildings. TinyURL: http://tinyurl.com/yj94pm

Long term goals

• Barricade policies that are not suburb-specific and take into account the Zone as a united entity.
• Mall population equity. Each of the four malls should have roughly equal populations, with each corner equally populated.
• Outpost police stations manned and the perimeter patrolled, on the look out for incoming hordes, so no one is taken by surprise.
• Every single building in the zone is secured and, unless strategically indicated, has power and a radio.
• Primary and Secondary fallback plans developed for each mall area. If a siege does happen to succeed, the abundant resources in the Zone should allow survivors to retake the area efficiently. Our lines should not collapse and the survivors scatter to randomly pick up the pieces.

Benefits

1. Each mall is less than ten blocks from at least two other malls.
2. Hildebrand Mall and Nichols Mall are less than ten blocks from three other malls. Hildebrand also shares a corner with an NT building (the Herbert Building), putting it on par with Caiger with its ability to sustain revive efforts during a siege.
3. Nichols Mall is the mall closest to the center of the city, offering a staging point for rescue operations. People in Nichols could be just about anywhere else in Malton in, at most, one day's travel — including every other mall in Malton.
4. Standing at the center of the Security Survivor Zone, a survivor will be less than 10 blocks away from four malls.
5. The Zone has a number of police stations that dot the perimeter as outposts and fall back positions.
6. The Zone has 9 NT buildings and six revive points. The NT buildings are well distributed — some along the perimeter, some in the center of the zone, all within 5 blocks of a mall.
7. Each mall is a fall-back position for two other malls, and a staging point for retaking two other malls.
8. The Survivor Security Zone is a resource rich area for survivors, and is located near the center of town so that quick aid can be supplied elsewhere on a limited basis.
9. The Zone also allows Survivors to develop strategies that are beyond mall-level defense and even beyond suburb-level defense. The Zone exists across multiple suburbs; the definition of the zone was developed by looking only at resource points and proximity to malls.
