Your first due by the numbers.
About 6,278 people live in these buildings, estimated from the building records.
How to read these numbers. Estimated means we worked it out from public records, and your officers check it at setup. The month is when its list was last updated. A check flag means the list is more than 2 years old, so look at it first.
Numbers built October 2026. Your officers fix anything that is off in setup, and every card follows.
Buildings by type
Water need, in gpm
Water need by the NFA formula, with 25% of the building involved. Homes and apartment buildings with no recorded height are counted as 2 floors; your officers can set heights in setup.
Shuttle loop times and rig counts are worked out card by card, from your tankers or tenders, your fill sites and your roads, once your officers enter them in setup.
Life-risk sites
Nursing homes, hospitals, care homes, schools and day cares that are first due to you, from state and national lists. Each list carries its own date.

Your stations.
