Camp Zulu X-ray 519 was a refugee camp established by the US military during the emergence of the virus on the East Coast. It was designed with the intention of housing families who had fled westward until they could be relocated elsewhere. However, after being recalled by their commanding officers, the US soldiers there abandoned the camp and left the residents to fend for themselves. Over the years, many of the refugees either left or died however they always welcomed newcomers with open arms. The camp was special for the residents in that it had all of the basic amenities - power (albeit limited), water, gardens. As it stands now, not many of the original residents are still around, but the camp still plays host to the ragtag survivors of the new world and provides sanctuary to the poor souls who need it.
"Camp Zulu X-ray 519? Why can't they ever name camps something nice... or after something nice? You know, like crumpets!" -- Evie Appleby, speaking about 'Camp Crumpets' a few months after her arrival.
