Immediate Response
In light of the Great Nuclear War, Prime Minister Franz Joseph-Roder declares a state of emergency. To try and cope with this disaster Ministers and local law enforcement from the surrounding cities meet in an emergency session in the city of Saarbrucken to discuss the situation. From this meeting it was agreed that they would try and best accommodate the survivors as possible. In order to do this farming was to be increased and a local militia was to be formed. In response to the flood of french refugees, camps were built outside the cities of Merzig and Volklingen till more permanent accommodations could be built.

In the first few years after 1962, the refugees and natives suffered from scarce resources. Mortality from death, disease, and rioting was terribly high. The ad hoc committees that had been created to maintain order and distribute supplies very nearly fell apart. By 1966 the crises was finally declared over as the new organized society had formed in Saarland.
