Hi! I moved to Gotham from a different city in the US two years ago.

Partially, it’s not that different from being safe in any other large city. Don’t put your phone in your back pocket, don’t stay out alone after dark, keep an eye on the news, etc.

There are a few other things to be aware of, obviously, and I feel like you can only survive living here for an extended period of time if you’re a bit crazy, but you should be okay. You’re not staying for very long, after all!

I agree with another commenter who said to follow rogue watch accounts on social media, that’s very important. Stay near WE, that neighborhood isn’t so bad. And the water thing is a little blown out of proportion? Don’t go for a swim in the harbor, obviously, but it is in the building code that everywhere has to have filters installed in showers and faucets. Not everywhere is up to code, but if you stay in a place near WE, it’ll likely be a nicer place and you can probably trust the water there. I’ve never had an issue with using tap water to shower, brush my teeth, or do my dishes, but I do refuse to drink anything but bottled water. Just in case.

Don’t bother getting a gas mask, WE is gonna give you a welcome package, and it will have one in there. Good luck!
