New Yonkers (Great Nuclear War)

New Yonkers is a survivor-state located north of Former New York City.

Pre-War
Before the Great Nuclear War, the FDCA constructed many Municipal Fallout/Blast Shelters, at least ten of which were in the New York Metropolitan Area. Two of these spared a number of the people living in Yonkers.

Post-War
Nearly a month later, in the cold of December, people began emerging from the municipal shelters, and the backyard shelters, and basements. Many survivors met in the center of town, only to learn that the government had fallen. Rioting was limited, as most people retreated into their homes, made desperate by the nuclear winter.

In the years to come, rooftop gardens and inner-city farms fed the populous, and the people became self-sufficient.
