**FEMA EMERGENCY BROADCAST — REGION 3 **
**Time Stamp: Day 241 Post-Incident (May 1994) **
**Classification: Public Advisory **
This is a Federal Emergency Management Agency transmission from FEMA Region 3
Command.
If you can hear this broadcast, limited emergency communications remain operational in your
area.
Signal stability cannot be guaranteed. Continue monitoring designated frequencies.
**REGIONAL STATUS REPORT **
Seven months have elapsed since the initial biological incident.
Federal containment strategy has transitioned from emergency suppression to regional
stabilization and civilian survivability support.
The following municipalities are confirmed long-term secured zones following sustained
clearance operations conducted jointly by federal response teams and organized survivor
groups:
• Muldraugh
• Rosewood
• Riverside
• West Point
These areas have maintained low infected density for multiple months.
Routine patrols and perimeter sweeps remain ongoing.
Travel between secured municipalities is permitted at personal risk.
Roadway safety cannot be ensured outside monitored corridors.
Rural territories, outlying towns, large cities and forest regions remain heavily infested.
The population density of infected people in these areas continues to rise.
**FORWARD SAFE LOCATION — MARCH RIDGE **
A fortified civilian refuge has been established at the Community Center in March Ridge.
The facility is under continuous guard by FEMA personnel and vetted civilian auxiliaries.
Key details:
• The Community Center and immediate perimeter are secured
• Infected presence in surrounding blocks is minimal but persistent
• The broader municipality of March Ridge is NOT cleared
• Defensive operations remain active and ongoing
Approach to March Ridge is considered high risk.
The Cross Roads military checkpoint — previously used as a primary access route — is no
longer under sustained control.
Despite repeated clearance operations, the checkpoint area continues to experience rapid
reinfestation of infected individuals.
Origin of reinfestation remains undetermined.
Movement patterns suggest sustained migration from surrounding forests and highway
corridors.
Travelers attempting entry should expect obstruction, heavy infected presence, and limited
extraction capability.
**PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY **
The infection remains universally lethal once transmitted through saliva exposure.
Current confirmed transmission findings:
• Bite exposure results in fatal infection
• Saliva contact with open wounds is considered high-risk
• Blood exposure alone remains an unconfirmed vector
• Deceased individuals do not remain non-hostile
If bitten, immediate self-isolation is required.
Do not endanger others through delayed reporting.
INFECTED BEHAVIORAL UPDATE
Field observations confirm continued adaptation in infected physiology and behavior.
Documented characteristics now include:
• Sustained running capability over extended distances
• Significant increase in physical force during attacks
• Persistence in target pursuit beyond prior thresholds
• Congregation behavior near transport routes and choke points
• Reoccupation of previously cleared areas
Infected populations are no longer dispersing naturally.
Infected that have been sheltered from the elements may have enhanced capabilities.
Cleared territory requires constant maintenance to remain viable.
Solitary engagement is strongly discouraged.
