Plot
In 2001, an operation known as "Dark Winter" was launched which was a real-world exercise that tested the emergency response to a bioterror attack on the United States. The simulation spiraled out of control within a few days, and predicted that a "breakdown in essential institutions," civil disorder, and massive civilian casualties. It revealed how vulnerable the United States become. Their lifestyle, security, and safety depend on a delicate and unstable economy. In 2007, a new Presidential directive was secretly signed that was put into law.
This executive order, known as Directive 51, was created to respond to a national crisis such as "Dark Winter." Rumors such as sleeper cells, shadow agencies, and covert operations relating to the directive was spread. Seven years later, on November 23rd, the day known as "Black Friday," a virus began spreading through banknotes that started to spread through human skin, food and toys, causing millions of people to become infected. Some said the virus started as a bioterror attack by the terrorisms or by an enemy country.
Within five days, the virus causes the United States to break down and fall apart. The first day: Hospitals reached full capacity panic had struck. Second day: Quarantine zones had been established all over America, resources became rationed, transports had gone into lockdown. Third day: international trade stopped, the oil dried up and gas stations became wastelands, and the stock market collapsed. Fourth day: The power failed, shelves became empty, and taps ran dry.
By the fifth day, hunger and despair took hold, people will do anything for survival and everyone will be a potential threat. The president activated Directive 51 and the classified unit of highly trained, self-supported tactical agents known as "The Division" were in New York City to prevent society from falling and restore hope.
TL'DR Summary
In 2001, an operation was to test out how America can handle a virus but it failed. And it's proven how vulnerable America is. So, the president signed an executive called Directive 51 in case of a virus outbreak. But seven years later, another virus was hit on "Black Friday" and caused New York City to fall in five days.
The first day is when hospitals are full and the panic began. The second day is when quarantine zones were made, resources became rationed and transports are on lockdown. The third day is when trade around the world stopped, oil disappeared, and the market was gone. The fourth day is that power is gone, shelves of supplies and water is gone. And the fifth day is when hunger and despair took place and drove everyone into apeshit crazy and everyone was a threat.
The president activated Directive 51 and the group of agents were called "The Division" and they are here to save New York City and save society from falling.

"We've created a house of cards. Remove just one, and everything falls apart. And what's fueling this system? Money."
Quarantine Zones/Safe Zones
Quarantine Zones was established by the Mayor of New York City on the second day of the outbreak. They house anyone from citizens to soldiers within a famous landmark or a park. Soldiers will warm citizens with weapons to turn it in to them or they'll be fired on, they'll give your weapons back once you leave the zone. But they'll not fire on "The Division" agent and let them in with their weapons (if they don't cause any problems). The agents will have to speak to the commander of a Quarantine Zone for anything that they can do to help around the zone (I'll be the commander(s) of the zones).
Safe Zones are like safe houses, but they don't have a lot of room for tons of people and supplies. They are rooms within an abandoned hotel, or a room within an apartment, but the Safe Zones are all over New York City. Gangs usually makes Safe Zones their base, so watch out before entering one. But, Safe Zones have supplies useful to survival or to Quarantine Zones. Safe Zones are abandoned thought New York, they are mostly abandoned with no supplies at all. You can make a base out of a Safe Zone, if you're a "The Division" agent.
Police Stations/Hospitals/Fire Departments
Police Stations are hubs for police officers, it houses resupplies, amour, magazines, and weapons. Stations can be also raided by gangs and taken by them. In order to restore a station to the police, you must kill all of the gangs within the area of the station and must free the remaining officers. The station also contains a board with the map of New York City, warrants, missing people, quarantine zones, and important locations. You can get supplies and one weapon from the police station once you help them. Citizens can also go to the police station to ask the officers for any help, report something, or have questions. The main police hub for all police officers is 1 Police Plaza, it houses the commissioner (I'll play as the commissioner). Officers can report to him/her for anything within New York City and the commissioner will update the status of New York City. "The Division" agents can also meet with him/her for anything that they can do to help out. The 1 Police Plaza serves as a Quarantine Zone for the citizens. Police Stations can be abandoned for many reasons.
Most of the hospitals were full on the first day of the outbreak and now the hospitals are abandoned. Hospitals houses supplies and medicine that can be useful to Quarantine Zones. They also house flies on people that other hospitals need, so giving the files to them can be helpful. The one of the remain hospitals were hotels and large stores, the main important one is The W Hotel. They house the sick, nurses, doctors, soldiers, and scientists. The scientists are there to research a cure for the virus, "The Division" agents can ask the head scientist for anything that they can help (I'll play him/her as well). Their more hospitals, but they are mostly in the downtown area due to there being larger buildings.
Fire Departments are mostly abandoned due to having no running water, but they have supplies. The Fire Department's main HQ is at the Nine MetroTech Center and it has been turned into a Quarantine Zone. They can become Safe Zones and gangs can live there.
Dark Zones
They're areas where the virus took a lot of people's lives and the sick people live there took until they drop dead. You should wear a mask before entering this area, but it has the most supplies than in the Safe Zones. You can get the virus if you got shot, bleeding, or wearing no mask near a dead/infected person. The zones will house abandoned buildings, that could house supplies and even weapons. This is where you will most likely die at and gang activity is the highest within these areas.
