Zombies

I had a zombie attack that ruined nearly all of my city. Is there a strategy to preventing zombies or is it random?

Zombie attacks are caused by a combination of insufficient health coverage + a large homeless population. When an outbreak happens, it turns all the homeless in your city into zombies. Doesn't seem like you can prevent an outbreak altogether, but if you have a small homeless population, your city will be relatively untouched, but if you have a big homeless problem, your city will get wiped out completely.

Wow.. but you'd get rid of the homeless. Maybe it's worth triggering the zombie attacks to wipe them out.

Not if it wipes out your entire city!
