San Francisco Relief Survey; the organization and methods of relief used after the earthquake and fire of April 18, 1906

Note 87 — PART I ORGANIZING THE FORCE AND EMERGENCY METHODS (continued 2)

Reading edition

200,000 is the number given for persons burned out of house and home. The difference is accounted for by the number made homeless because of loss of income and because of the homes made temporarily uninhabitable by the earthquake.

[88] See Part VI, p. 357, and Part V, p. 305 ff., for number that had to be taken care of permanently. The small number who left the almshouse to seek shelter in the camps is also noted in Part VI.
