At
the start of the 1700's, Spanish
and Mexican
people arrived in California and settled there, this was when California
was
part
of The Spanish Empire (and later part
of
[[Mexico]])
. It became a state in 1847,
when
a treaty
was enacted
to end the American-Mexican war, making California the 31st state.
The next year in 1848, California became much more popular when gold was discovered there, which attracted large amounts of people to settle there to seek wealth, fortune and opportunity.

Before the outbreak, California seemed to be
going
along
normally with the rest of the world
. However, there were reports of a recent "flu" which meant hospitals coped with more patients getting flu shots in order to prevent getting sick. Videos and information emerged on certain websites showing people with a strange virus attacking people, however, only very few people saw
this
media
, one of which was [[Tobias (Fear The Walking Dead)|Tobias]].

Soon, an unknown [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] radio station was informing people to get their flu shots if they haven't yet. People began to disappear and hospitals were very slowly becoming more overcrowded with sick patients. During a ride home from [[Paul R. Williams High School]], [[Madison Clark (Fear The Walking Dead)|Madison]] noticed a fence with half a dozen "Missing" papers and a park devoid of activity, with the exception of a mysterious human like figure shambling towards the main road as if drunk (the implication is that it was [[Zombies|Zombie]]).

Later that morning, [[Art Costa (Fear The Walking Dead)|Art Costa]], the Principal, saw staff members watching the leaked video and told them he'd talk to the other schools about it. Soon enough, [[Paul R. Williams High School]] decided to have a half-day along with other schools in the [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] area and confused students began to pile onto the bus, going home.

The more suburban parts of LA, and possibly all of California, begin getting more congestion on roads as more people become aware of the illness and try to flee the city. Police were instructed to store up on supplies such as food, gas and water and were told not to tell anyone the real situation. There were more broadcasts on media such as radio, which could have been ordered by the Californian government. The broadcasts told people if they don't need to travel then don't but if they did, then proceed with caution, which made even more people worried.

Emergency services were keeping the area contained and secure but were failing due to the sheer amount of angry people outraged over the police shooting a homeless man, this soon triggered a protest, which was broadcast on the news. When Travis and Liza find their son, one LAPD member, [[Gonzales (Fear The Walking Dead)|Gonzales]], shot an infected woman, causing protesters and witnesses to flee scene but also triggering a riot. Riot control was called in and people began to either continue causing violence or to flee the area.

The riots presumably lasted the majority of the night in [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]], [[San Diego, California|San Diego]] and possibly other cities such as San Francisco. Rioters ignored Police orders to clear the streets and to stop, making them easy targets to the infected. Flights were cancelled by the FAA to reduce the spreading of the illness (evidence for this was seen in promotional material released for ''Fear''). Power stations began to fail, causing mass blackouts in LA and other settlements in California. Mid-flight of [[Flight 462]], [[Jake Powell (Fear The Walking Dead)|Jake Powell]], and perhaps other passengers witnessed lights going out in
Phoinex
, Arizona. According to [[Deirdre (Flight 462)|Deirdre]], an air attendant on [[TruWest Airlines Flight 462]], the pilot was informed that lights were going out everywhere, including California, and the pilot hoped to use San Francisco as an alternate landing destination.

As people in
the
Los Angeles
borough
and other areas of the state panicked to take their loved ones to the hospital, it caused hospitals to be overrun and be abandoned. One final state radio message was played, stating that California has declared a state of emergency along with other states and that the National Guard will be deployed.

Morning rose on California, which
remained
in ruins. Cities such as LA had gridlocked highways and burning neighborhoods and smoke rising from high rises. The [[California Army National Guard|National Guard]] was called in by the Governor of California in order to set up safe zones in [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] and possibly other cities. In Los Angeles, they set up twelve safe zones around the city, which went under the name [[Los Angeles Basin Safe Zones]]; one safe zone was in [[El Sereno]]. They also made a private facility from a college which was named The Compound. Its use was a base of operations for the Los Angeles District and to keep people who may have the virus locked up.

The National Guard shared very little information about the outside world to the residents in the safe zones. It was rumored that most people decided to go east, to Bakersfield and Las Vegas.[[File:Stateexecutiveorder.jpg|thumb|California State Executive order]]
