Los Angeles, California
At the time of the outbreak, the city of Los Angeles had a population of roughly 3.8 million people. As the outbreak developed, chaos quickly spiraled out of control as riots broke out in the streets and isolated incidents scattered across the city. With the outbreak spreading across the city, it gradually killed thousands of people and infecting hundreds more. As a result, the California National Guard was deployed to establish safe zones throughout the city in attempt to establish safe havens for city residents. Within 9 days of the city losing power and being declared a state of emergency, 12 safe zones were secured and a local college was turned into a National Guard base near Safe Zone India. As the government screens survivors, those who were bitten, are sick, or deemed as a threat to safe zone populations are sent to the medical facility for quarantine.

After realizing the military has been overpowered in the fight to re-take Los Angeles, they initiated Operation Cobalt, a last-resort option designed to annihilate all remaining survivors within the Los Angeles Basin. The night before the operation was set to proceed, the National Guard pulled out of Madison's neighborhood in Safe Zone India and fled to the military base for evacuation. As trucks were being prepared to shuttle guardsmen, patients, and medical staff to Edwards Air Force Base, several thousand zombies suddenly swarmed the military base. The fences were compromised and dozens of soldiers were killed. As for the trucks full of people, it is unknown if any were able to leave the compound in time before it was overrun with zombies. In addition to this, the helicopter sent to evacuate several dozen people from the medical ward was aborted, trapping many of them in the breached compound. Travis Manawa, Christopher Manawa, Elizabeth Ortiz, Madison Clark, Nicholas Clark, Alicia Clark, Daniel Salazar, Ofelia Salazar, and Victor Strand managed to escape from the base and head for the coast. In addition to Travis' group, a few National Guardsmen, medical personnel, patients, and quarantined citizens were reported to have fled the compound before it was fully overrun.

 * Travis's group has taken up refuge at Victor's house on the coast while the Thompson family and the rest of the neighbors remain living in their homes, though the safe zone was abandoned by the National Guard. Several others including Tobias, Sierra, and Anya are reported to have escaped Los Angeles before being quarantined by the military.

TruWest Airlines Flight 462
TruWest Airlines Flight 462, with one hundred forty-eight (148) passengers and crew on board, was en route to Phoenix, Arizona when a passenger with a bite wound hidden beneath his shirt suddenly died and reanimated into a zombie mid-flight. Simultaneously, the power goes out in Phoenix, forcing the pilot to reroute the plane back to Los Angeles, California. In the attempt to kill the zombified passenger, a bullet strikes a window, eventually causing it crack and break. As the plane flies over Los Angeles, it begins to lose control and eventually break apart along the coast of Southern California. Only six (6) passengers survived the crash.

The Abigail
With the city of Los Angeles abandoned, firebombed, and lost to the undead, Travis and his group of survivors have fled to the open waters on Strand's yacht, The Abigail. The group decide to set course to San Diego to find help, but they later learn that the city was also firebombed, leaving them helpless at sea. However, Strand decides to set course towards Rosarito in Baja California to find his family. During the journey to Mexico, they are attacked by pirates who kidnap Travis and Alicia, but they are eventually rescued and the journey continues. At the Abigail vineyard in Valle de Guadalupe, they find safety, though it is short-lived as conflict quickly arises and the Abigail estate is destroyed in a fire, leading the others to think Daniel is dead. Forced to flee the vineyard among the chaos, the survivors were split into three groups: Nicholas running off on his own, Travis chasing after Chris in the desert, and Strand evacuating Madison, Alicia, and Ofelia in his truck.

Los Angeles, California
After the military abandoned Los Angeles, the city is firebombed by fighter jets, killing hundreds of remaining survivors and tens of thousands of zombies. The several dozen families and neighbors of El Sereno were still living in their homes when the military dropped their bombs on the city, destroying the neighborhood and killing everyone in it.

Southern California
Since the closure of the Mexico-United States Border, thousands of people in Southern California have been trapped and forced to fight for their lives, especially after the United States military firebombed several cities in the region, including Los Angeles and San Diego, as well as Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver in Canada. On Catrina Island, hundreds of tourists were killed after becoming stranded at the marina when the ferries left. Meanwhile the Geary family was able to survive at the ranger station, located on a hillside far away from the marina. After young Willa accidentally overdosed and reanimated, she killed her parents, leaving her brothers Harry and Seth alone on the island. Other survivors encountered in the area include passengers on the overcrowded skiff boat, the Leigh Anne, which was later found capsized and its passengers killed, having been ambushed by pirates. Several passengers survived the crash of TruWest Airlines Flight 462, but a few succumbed to their injuries days later, leaving Alex as the sole survivor. Connor and his pirates live out of a fishing boat dry-docked at a shipyard. Using sonar, they hijack ships and rob survivors, sometimes kidnapping them and bringing them back to their base.

Guadalupe, Baja California
The village of Guadalupe, with a population of 2,600 people, is well-known for its wineries, vineyards, and annual harvest festival, making it a popular spot for tourists who visit the nearby city of Rosarito. In the early stages of the apocalypse, Valle de Guadalupe was rampant with the zombie outbreak, leaving many villagers dead. With the majority of the population dying off, the local graveyard was so overwhelmed with the dead that bodies of deceased villagers began to pile up outside the church. Thomas Abigail and Celia Flores opened the Abigail vineyard as a safe haven for survivors, including the Abigail servants and field workers and their families, totaling twenty-one (21) people. Other survivors in Guadalupe, including a father and his son and the priest and members of his congregation, continue to live in their homes throughout town.

Rosarito Beach Hotel
The city of Rosarito in Baja California, with a population of 65,000 people, remains widely abandoned. The Rosarito Beach Hotel was a luxurious resort that was at full capacity and hosting a wedding reception at the time of the outbreak when the father of the bride died and reanimated, causing chaos in the ballroom after everyone was locked inside by the hotel manager in an effort to contain the situation. Unfortunately, emergency services were overwhelmed and the hotel, along with the rest of the city, was quickly overrun with zombies. About a month later, Madison and her group found refuge at the hotel and were able to unite the surviving wedding guests and hotel staff, turning the hotel into a sustainable community for the twenty (20) people living there. The hotel buildings were cleared of the undead, the gates were fortified, the generators were fixed to provide limited electricity, and the survivors began planting crops and fishing for food. One night, Madison turned on the hotel lights in a desperate attempt to signal Nick, which brought forty-four (44) refugees to the gates the next morning, including Travis, and five more that night, though Brandon and Derek were banished the next morning. Ultimately, everyone was brought to the parking garage to be screened before being allowed to join the community, totaling sixty-seven (67) survivors residing at the hotel. Once Travis learns of his son's death, he chases after Brandon and Derek and beats them to death in a rage and fatally injures Oscar, which leads to his exile. However, several of the hotel guests attempt to lynch Travis, but he is able to escape along with Madison and Alicia, though Strand chose to stay behind.

La Colonia
Before the outbreak, La Colonia was a hillside neighborhood on the outskirts overlooking Tijuana. After the city was overrun, the residents barricaded their community and created a single entrance, protected by "the wall", referring to a fenced off barrier filled with reanimated neighbors and family members. The community was named La Colonia and is home to at least a hundred twelve (112) survivors, including Nick who was found by Luciana Galvez and other scouts. Local pharmacist Alejandro Nuñez also serves as a spiritual leader to the people of La Colonia, preaching that the zombies are not to be feared and that they represent those in the afterlife. With the threat of a nearby drug gang and low supplies, tensions rise in La Colonia and people are beginning to leave the community for other settlements. As a result, Alejandro tries to keep his community together and prevents anyone else from leaving, including Nick and Luciana, which prevents them from getting water and medicine from the gang. Despite the pair sneaking out and completing the exchange, the townspeople of La Colonia are forced to evacuate after learning of the gang's imminent invasion, although a dying Alejandro stays behind. Nick and Luciana lead the remaining townspeople through the streets of Tijuana towards the border. As they reach the border crossing, they are attacked by soldiers, sending many people fleeing back towards the city while Nick and Luciana are captured.

Los Hermanos
The Los Hermanos gang was living and operating their drug business out of East Tijuana. When the apocalypse ravaged the city, the gang took over an El Pelicano supermarket and set up tents inside, creating a home for themselves and their families. The gang set up shop at the supermarket, allowing survivors, including scouts from La Colonia, to trade for food and water. Ultimately, relations between La Colonia and the gang are strained and Los Hermanos leader Marco Rodriguez begins searching for La Colonia with plans to take over and move his people in. He went as far as scouting the streets and capturing Francisco's family after they left the community, interrogating them and executing them afterwards. At the same time, Marco was able to create an alliance with a rival gang led by Ramiro, giving him enough firepower to attack La Colonia. With the merger, a total of forty-four (44) gang members and their families are a part of Los Hermanos. As a result, everyone abandons the supermarket and the gang members launch an assault on La Colonia, only to find it abandoned. However, Marco and the gang are trapped after Alejandro moves the bus, unleashing the zombies from "the wall", effectively overwhelming Los Hermanos and killing all twenty-five (25) members of the raid.

Northwestern Baja California
Throughout the northwestern region of Baja California, including the municipalities of Rosarito and Tijuana, numerous survivors continue to ride out the apocalypse by hiding in their homes, including a mother and daughter in their house, an elderly couple in their shop, and a family on their farm. Due to the lawlessness of the land, many gangs have taken advantage of the outbreak, including the La Manas bandits. Separated from the group, Travis and Chris wander in the desert until they meet a trio of young men, who were partying on the Sea of Cortez when the apocalypse began and have been trying to return home to San Diego ever since. Despite Travis' hesitation about joining their group, Chris is enthusiastic in joining the boys, though he quickly becomes dangerous after he guns down a farmer with no remorse. Eventually, James is killed and Chris abandons his father and joins Brandon and Derek for San Diego. After Chris gets into an accident with the truck, he is wounded and gunned down by Brandon, while he and Derek head to Rosarito for refuge. Ultimately, both boys are beaten to death by Travis, who leaves the hotel with Madison and Alicia and head for Tijuana to find Nick. Meanwhile, Ofelia, having abandoned her group, is traveling north towards the United States-Mexico border in an attempt to find her ex-fiancé, believed to be living in Santa Fé. She eventually finds a way into the United States but is taken into custody by a Jeremiah Otto, a militiaman. Other militiamen are stationed at the border in Tijuana and are able to capture Nick and Luciana while the rest of the colonists flee back towards the city.

Broke Jaw Ranch
Broke Jaw Ranch, a cattle ranch owned and operated by Jeremiah Otto and his sons, is located in a valley to the east of San Diego, California and has been turned into a survivalist community, complete with greenhouses and vegetable gardens, grazing pastures for livestock, solar power, a dining hall, and a camp with RVs for accommodation. The Clarks, Travis, and Luciana (who later leaves) are invited to stay at the ranch after being taken into custody by the border, bringing the ranch population to at least one hundred forty-nine (149) survivors. Recently, the escalation between the ranch and the Black Hat tribe has gotten worse as both sides have suffered casualties in assaults from the other. Despite Jake's attempts to negotiate, the Natives demand the ranch to be vacated. Unfortunately, an anthrax attack on the militia sparks an outbreak that leaves many militiamen and civilians dead. After a squadron steals the reliquary from the Black Hat Reservation, the ranch is surrounded and the Natives refuse to back down unless they are given the head of Jeremiah Otto, terms discussed privately between Madison and Qaletaqa and ultimately delivered by Madison. As a result, peace is declared between the two groups and the Natives are invited to stay on the ranch. However, tensions continue to arise between the two groups as the armory is locked up, the Natives occupying half the ranch, and the water supply set to run out in 6 weeks. In spite of this, Madison and Qaletaqa search for a water solution as Alicia maintains the peace while Nick is urged by several ranchers to bring back the militia and fight the Natives.

Black Hat Reservation
The Black Hat Reservation, home to at least thirty-three (33) people, is occupied by a local Native American tribe and led by tribal lawyer Qaletaqa Walker. The reservation is described by Jeremiah Otto as nothing but a truck stop, a motel, and a market populated with addicts and welfare recipients. The Natives have been in a constant feud with the ranch since before the apocalypse. Since the outbreak, it has escalated to the point where both sides were engaging in skirmishes with each other. After a failed parley and several surprise attacks at their headquarters at the Black Hat motel, several Natives were left dead and many homes burned. Meanwhile, the Natives were responsible for an anthrax attack on the ranch's militia that sparked an outbreak at Broke Jaw, leaving dozens dead. Before a war broke out, Madison was able to end the feud by staging Jeremiah's suicide and delivering his severed head to Qaletaqa, ending the Otto reign and establishing peace between the two communities. Since then, the Natives moved onto the ranch due to the water shortage in the region.

Gonzalez Dam
The Gonzalez Dam is located outside of Tijuana and provides water to the city and its residents. After the outbreak ravaged Baja California, municipal president Dante Esquival took control of the dam and began selling it to survivors for whatever valuables they had left. He asserts his power through intimidation and fear and has executed numerous adversaries by throwing them over the dam to their deaths. Water utility worker Lola Guerrero works to ensure the water is clean and has been secretly turning on the water once a week at a single source in Tijuana to help the city's remaining residents. Ultimately, Daniel is brought to the dam and the survivors are able to overthrow Dante and regain control of the dam and its water. Out of the goodness of her heart, Lola has been organizing trips to neighborhoods and communities in Tijuana to give out water to survivors, but many have become desperate and violent, hindering Lola's efforts to help everyone. After an explosion at one of the entrances, Lola agrees to help the ranch by trading water every week in exchange for weapons and ammunition so Daniel and the guards can help defend the dam.

El Bazar
El Bazar is a trading post established in a bull fighting arena in the city of Mexicali. The market is patrolled by riot guards and under close observation of Proctor John and his men. Survivors from miles around flock to El Bazar where at least a hundred people occupy the market at any given time. The market is where survivors can barter with vendors and merchants for a wide variety of goods including hot meals, water, tool, clothes, and even tattoos and dirt bikes. While El Bazar is primarily a market, it also has temporary housing available within the arena's holding pens. At El Bazar, those with debt are required to pay off what they owe by performing work detail for the trading post, which means they are chained up to the perimeter fence of the arena parking lot and armed with a simple weapon to take out zombies that approach the trading post.

Northwestern Baja California
Various survivors continue to seek in the northwestern region of Baja California and the border, including many people still living within the city of Tijuana. Many of these people continue to hide out in their homes and are desperate for water. Fortunately, Lola and her people at the dam have begun making trips into the city to hand out water to survivors. Luciana decided to leave Nick and the ranch and head to the city of Mexicali to find friends who may have survived the outbreak. An abandoned military fuel depot by the border crossing was where many captured Mexicans were being executed in the name of "science" by several militiamen from Broke Jaw Ranch.

Rosarito Beach Hotel
The Rosarito Beach Hotel is becoming a refugee camp as many more survivors arrive at the gates, begging to be let in. The crowd gets rowdy as Elena and Hector attempt to turn them away, but Strand is able to calm the crowd by lying to them he is a doctor. While he is able to help a teenage boy and a pregnant woman, Elena and Hector decide to banish Strand, as they fear the refugees will find out about Strand's lie and start a riot. After making amends with Ilene, she gives Strand the keys to her car, originally her wedding gift to Jessica, and Strand leaves the hotel. It is assumed that Elena and Hector regain control of the hotel and do their best to keep a low profile and accommodate all of the survivors, totaling at least seventy-two (72) people. However, sometime after Strand's departure, the hotel was breached and an outbreak left everyone dead or turned.
