Reports have been coming into Zombie Mountain of zombies running the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill response effort.  In response to these reports, Zombie Mountain has officially elevated the ZOM™ alert level (Zombie Outbreak Manageability Scale™) from All Clear to Zombie Watch.  The entire Gulf Coast region is currently under a Zombie Watch.  A Zombie Watch means the conditions are favorable for a zombie outbreak.  Concerned citizens should ensure they have prepared their zombie survival go-kits, and stocked up on the necessary supplies for their homes and vehicles.  Be cautious when traveling to and from this area.  The U.S. Government in cooperation with BP has recently elevated the “oil spill” response effort to include closing down beaches and quarantining areas along the coast preventing access to citizens and the media.  It appears possible that there is an existing zombie outbreak, and the government is in ZOM1 cover up mode.  BP, the company responsible for the ongoing oil spill, has not yet admitted to the possibility of a zombie outbreak associated with the response effort, and maintains the likelihood and the potential impact of a zombie outbreak on response efforts is low.  Similarly, BP maintains the position that the potential environmental and economic impact of the ongoing environmental catastrophe is also low.   Zombie Mountain is currently sending assets to the area to locate and identify potential zombies. If you have seen a zombie please do not hesitate to submit a report.
