Say what you want, but nobody can survive the apocalypse. Eventually everyone dies, but days before that, several strategies can be deployed to prolong the survival of the town by just a few extra days.
Zombie Attack
No matter how good a 
Town is, eventually 
The Attack will be too much for the 
Town Gates to handle. Zombies will start to pour into the town, causing casualties and 
terror. This means endgame, and a change of strategy is needed to prepare for the inevitable.
One common strategy is to have 10 people stay inside town very high 
Home defenses and everyone else 
Camps. It is believed that this reduces the rate at which the magnitude of The Attack increases, and the focus of home defense allows citizens to survive instead of die, although they will become Terrorised.
The Town Gates are sometimes purposely left open when using this strategy to save the 
of opening and closing them. Some speculate that a much higher proportion of the attacking zombies that enter the town do not attack anybody (see: The Attack#Lazy zombies) if the gates are open, possibly due to the game giving players a "second chance" for making the "mistake" of leaving the gates open.
Zombie Spread
While The Attack happens at midnight, zombies present on the 
Map will also slowly spread and make the 
World Beyond dangerous, limiting the zones that players can 
Scavenge for 
Resources.
By endgame, most zones will be marked red for "more than 4 zombies", and Camping becomes extremely risky as citizens may become trapped while headed for the 
Ruins to camp.
Notes
- Towns prior to Season 3 have sustained extremely long by relying on the Search Tower's abilities to replenish zones, allowing them to bring back
Defensive Objects and building resources. Eventually the town succumbs to 
Dehydration and zombies, but this strategy has allowed extremely organized and successful towns to reach day 40.
- After Season 3,
Blueprints were introduced to limit building choices, and 
Defence provided by Defensive Objects were decreased significantly, so this strategy is now obsolete.
- After Season 3,
