a Original 10-station selection spanning Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn. b Alternative selection retaining six original stations (red markers) and replacing four with Herald Square, Rockefeller Center, Queens Plaza/Queensboro Plaza, and Jay St-MetroTech (black markers). The alternative set preserves geographic diversity while testing whether weather hierarchy and spatial vulnerability patterns hold under a different network configuration. Map data ©2026 Google.
