Earthquake Fire: San Francisco, on April 1906
When a magnitude 7.8 quake rumbled from the San Andreas Fault to the working-class center of town, continuous explosions formed a lurid tower of smoke throughout the city. But the first of our 10 Worst Disasters of the Last 101 Years teaches the lessons of reconstruction — and set the foundation for a century of earthquake research to come. For expert survival advice and tips, visit our ultimate guide to getting ready for any disaster.
At the turn of the last century, San Francisco could fairly count itself as one of the world's great cities. Formed out of the gold rush of 1849, it transformed from a rough-and-tumble mining town into a cosmopolitan center of 400,000 people. Aspirational locals called it the Paris of the West. There were fashionable department stores, urbane hotels, a new sprawling city hall said to be the biggest in the West, and a Grand Opera House that hosted the greatest tenor of that time, Enrico Caruso. All of that changed on April 18, 1906.
At 5:12 am, a powerful earthquake centered just off the coast grabbed San Francisco by the throat and nearly shook it to death. The magnitude 7.8 quake arrived in two pulses, the second more powerful than the first. "[It] hurled my bed against an opposite wall," wrote Emma Burke, the wife of a local attorney. "It grew constantly worse, the noise deafening; the crash of dishes, falling pictures, the rattle of the flat tin roof, bookcases being overturned, the piano hurled across the parlor, the groaning and straining of the building itself, broken glass and falling plaster, made such a roar that no one noise could be distinguished."
Sea captains said it felt as though their boats had run into a sea of rocks. Wooden houses splintered, cracked and collapsed, while poorly reinforced brick buildings tumbled to the ground. Bleary residents scurried into streets that were rippling like waves and firing off cobblestones. Trees whipsawed, telephone poles snapped and streetcar rails buckled. Amidst the noise, all of San Francisco's church-tower bells rang out, sounding an eerie alarm that lasted until the shaking stopped nearly a minute after it had begun.
If the epicenter of the earthquake was 2 miles out in the sea on the San Andreas Fault, the focal point of the quake's damage was in the working-class neighborhood south of Market Street. When the shock waves rippled through this reclaimed swampland, they temporarily liquefied the man-made ground, causing scores of buildings to collapse. Several hotels were destroyed, including the four-story Valencia Street Hotel, which pancaked to street level; top-floor guests simply stepped outside. Chinatown, just north of Market Street, was also particularly hard hit because of the extensive use of unreinforced brick masonry.
Like the second seismic shock wave, the quake sparked dozens of fires to life, causing a second, more powerful pulse of destruction. The tremors had broken the city's fire alarm system, but firefighters could see enough smoke billowing up to know where to go. They hooked fire hoses to hydrants, but when they opened the valves no water gushed forth. Most of the city's water lines had ruptured, too.
The tightly packed wooden-frame construction concentrated south of Market Street made fast fuel for a blaze that jumped from building to building and from block to block. What was later dubbed the "ham and eggs fire" burned down the house of a family cooking breakfast and then swept east until it had completely destroyed a local college, San Francisco's Hall of Records and the massive City Hall. Walls of fire converged from all angles until smoke filled the sky, as if San Francisco itself had erupted.
"Within an hour after the earthquake shock, the smoke of San Francisco's burning was a lurid tower visible a hundred miles away," wrote Jack London, who rode from his ranch in Glen Ellen to San Francisco on the day of the quake. "And for three days and nights this lurid tower swayed in the sky, reddening the sun, darkening the day, and filling the land with smoke."
San Franciscans quickly retreated, hauling in trunks what possessions they could. Navy boats and local firefighters had saved the city's wharf, a feat that allowed tens of thousands to leave the city. Others fled to high ground at Telegraph Hill and at Lafayette Square in the Western Addition. Men in dark ties and bowler hats and women in heavy dresses stared in disbelief as the 2000-degree inferno incinerated their city.

Possible natural immunity to Ebola?
A surprisingly high proportion of the Gabonese population could have immunity against Ebola. Antibodies to the virus were found in 15.3% of rural communities, whereas these people had never had haemorrhagic fever or other specific symptoms of the disease (such as severe diarrhoea or vomiting). IRD researchers and their partners 1 recently discovered this large number of healthy carriers among Gabonese people, even in areas where there has never been an Ebola outbreak. The scientists consider that these people have somehow come into contact with the virus, probably present in fruit contaminated by saliva from Chiroptera (fruit bats) 2.
Ebola fever epidemics have been striking central Africa for more than 30 years. Today the researchers know that Chiroptera, suspected of being the natural reservoir of the virus, can contaminate humans directly. However, the exact mechanisms of human contamination are still uncertain. This study sheds new light on the circulation of Ebola in the wild and on the threat it poses for humans, which could prove to be less severe than predicted.
Since the first recorded case of Ebola in 1976, outbreaks of the disease occasionally strike humans and great apes in Gabon, the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Sudan and Uganda. The natural reservoir of the virus (bats) and the origin of most epidemics are known. But how exactly did humans become contaminated? What determines whether or not an epidemic breaks out? A surprising fact has emerged: a high proportion of the Gabonese population is immunized against the disease: 15.3% possess antibiotics against Ebola, even in areas where no epidemic has ever been recorded . This was found recently by IRD scientists and their partners 1 The results mean that the persons involved have been exposed to the virus but have never developed clinical symptoms of the infection.
Antibody search
For a better understanding of how Ebola circulates and spreads to humans, a three-year serological study was conducted, the most extensive to date concerning this virus. A multidisciplinary team (doctors, epidemiologists, viruses, veterinary surgeons and laboratory technicians) screened the rural population across the whole of Gabon, a country with a variety of types of terrain: some where epidemics occur, others which are spared by the disease. More than 4000 blood samples were analysed to detect the presence of antibodies against Ebola. The prevalence rate 3 varied significantly between regions, but the average found was 15.3%, the highest value so far reported for this disease. The savannah areas and the plains revealed intermediate rates of 10.5 and 12.4% respectively. In the Lakeland areas, only 2.7% of inhabitants possessed antibodies, whereas in the forest zones the rate reached 19.4%, even as high as 33.8% in some villages.
A real immunity to Ebola
The research team next looked into the immune status of people carrying antibodies, the first such investigation concerning this disease. They first showed that the antibodies react specifically against one or more proteins of the virus. These individuals had indeed developed specific antibodies against Ebola. In vitro tests subsequently brought evidence of a significant rise in the number of T8 lymphocytes (white blood cells which destroy infected cells) producing cytokine IFN-g, a substance involved in the immune system. This immune memory specifically concerning the Ebola virus is similar to that generated by vaccines whose effectiveness against Ebola in animals has been shown in previous studies. This similarity prompts the researchers to wonder if these people are naturally protected against new infection.
IRD/Pierre Becquart
High populations of bats live in Gabon’s forest areas, especially near villages.
Mild or unnoticeable forms of the disease
The high immunity rates are the biological proof that populations have been in contact with the Ebola virus. In order to develop antibodies, these healthy carriers must have been exposed to the virus in the past. They report that they have never suffered from the disease or in any case live in a non epidemic area. Ebola does not always provoke haemorrhage, but it triggers high fever, diarrhoea and vomiting, with a 90% mortality rate. It is highly unlikely that such symptoms had gone unnoticed. The researchers therefore deduce that the people with antibodies probably developed a mild form of the disease or an infection which did not produce symptoms.
Are healthy carriers contaminated by bats?
Given the extremely high mortality rate produced by full-blown Ebola, the high antibody prevalence observed excludes the theory that the healthy carriers could be survivors of past epidemics. Moreover, the fact that no serious clinical form of the disease had developed means that any idea of a human-human transmission (by way of blood, vomit or diarrhoea which contain the virus) must also be discarded.
No particular risk factor could be identified (such as sex, age, hunting, contact with wild animals), which means that there is a common origin of exposure located near or in the villages. Only three animal groups are known to be naturally infected with Ebola: chimpanzees, gorillas and bats. The great apes live deep in the forest and only rarely come into physical contact with humans. They probably do not contribute to the prevalence rates. Chiroptera, however, are particularly abundant in the forest areas of Gabon, where the immunity rates are indeed at their highest. Great numbers of bats perch in the trees, eat fruit, particularly in sectors near the villages. The local people could therefore come into contact with the virus when they gather and eat fruit contaminated by these animals’ saliva.
How and why have people who have never manifested clinical symptoms of infection or living in areas free of the disease been able to develop immunity against Ebola remains uncertain. However, these investigations help better understand the epidemiology of the virus, the processes involved in human contamination and the generation of epidemics, with a view to developing improved prediction and prevention strategies.
1. These research investigations were conducted jointly with scientists from the Centre International de Recherches Médicales de Franceville in Gabon.
2. Recent studies have shown the presence of Ebola virus in body fluids such as saliva or sweat.
3. The prevalence of an infection is the number of persons in a population who are contaminated at a given moment. It is usually expressed as a percentage.
Local Organizations Key to Ebola Recovery
Liberia is a developing country facing a serious public health crisis and economic injustice brought on by the Ebola crisis.As a grassroots organization working in Liberia, we face many challenges: transportation; poor communications systems; and limited funding to scale successful programs to new communities. The need for strong donor support to empower local grassroots organizations working to fight the Ebola crisis in West Africa is truly overwhelming. Although currently there is a large international NGOs presence and donor support in Liberia, their numbers will quickly decrease as the Ebola epidemic starts to improve. Unfortunately, the lasting impact of Ebola will continue long after these international aid workers leave the country. Psychosocial support, stigmatization of Ebola survivors, and the economic repercussions of Ebola on the country will become an increasingly serious challenge. This is where long-term support and the role of local organizations for recovery is critical.
Proactive intervention and strategies are needed to ensure wider development outcomes in postwar Liberia and other affected countries. To do this, donor support must focus on vulnerable and underprivileged groups, especially women, youth, and the disabled at the local level. Donor support to local organizations needs to center around three critical areas:
Social protection projects help provide a safe environment for Ebola survivors and can be a way of introducing livelihood sustainability for survivors and their families.
Psychosocial support is very important here in West Point psychosocial support to Ebola survivors in the community and economic empowerment program is our main areas of work in providing support and promoting women rights, the role that we play in economic and skills empowerment to women is vital to the improvement of their income generating activities.
Increasing the space for grassroot organizations at the policy level is key to promoting social development for women, children, and people with disabilities.
The lack of long-term donors’ support is a critical problem across Africa. While short-term emergency response is relatively simple, only long term support will yield real results. In the context of the Ebola response, donors should focus on:
Building a strong alliance with local community organizations to include the participation of women and other underrepresented groups including the voices of those directly affected by the Ebola virus.
Creating specific policies aimed at influencing the Liberian Government’s position on supporting grassroots organizations so that decisionmaking can respond appropriately at the local and national level.
As we look to not just eliminate Ebola in Liberia, but to help the country fully recover from this crisis, the active involvement and participation of grassroots organizations is essential.
Nelly Cooper is the president of the West Point Women for Health and Development. West Point Women is based in West Point, a slum outside of Monrovia, Liberia. Nelly and her team have worked tirelessly for months to combat Ebola in their community through education, coordination, and tracking of patients.

- Dr Kate says
The first aid actions in this topic should only be used by someone who has done a first aid course and knows exactly what to do.
What is first aid?
are you ok?If your friend has an accident or someone collapses (perhaps from a heart attack) then the first person there will be the first aider or the person who will help her until others get there.
First aid is about using your commonsense in ways that will keep her safe without doing harm to her.
It's a great idea for older children and adults to do a first aid course so that you know what to do to help others.
At school, all teachers and other staff will know what to do; in other places ask an adult to help.
Calling for help
Calling for help is the most important thing a kid can do in an emergency.
If you're going to be the one making the emergency phone call, here's what to do:
Take a deep breath to calm down a little.
Call 000 (in Australia). If your mobile phone is out of range you could try 112.
Tell the operator there's an emergency.
Say your name and where you are - the exact address if you know it.
Explain what happened and how many people are hurt. The operator will need all the information you can provide, so give as many details as you can.
Follow all of the operator's instructions carefully.
Stay on the line until the operator says it's OK to hang up. If you do not know just where you are - stay on the phone and the emergency service may be able to find you – don't hang up.
D.R.S.A.B.C.D
Here is something to help you remember what to do if you are the only person around.
The letters stand for
D = Danger
R = Response
S = Send for help
A = Airway
B = Breathing
C = Compression
D = Defibrillate
Danger
Before you do anything to help your friend make sure that it is safe for you to help her.
make sure it is safe for you to helpIf it is safe for you but your friend is in a dangerous place, like the middle of the road if she has fallen off her bike, then get her to move to a safer place.
Do not move an unconscious person who may have a bad injury (like being hit by a car or falling from a tree). You could make the injury worse.
NEVER stand out in the road trying to make cars stop. This is very dangerous.
Response
This is to find out if your friend is awake and able to talk to you (respond to you), or if she might be unconscious.
Call out to the person.
Tap his face or shoulder gently if he seems to be asleep.
Ask him what happened.
Ask him where he hurts.
If he doesn't answer or move he could be unconscious. Call for help.
Send for help
Ask someone to help you or get someone to dial 000 for an ambulance while you help the person if youa re trained in first aid.
Airway
If a person is unconscious he may not be able to breathe easily if he is on his back. If he has collapsed or had an epileptic fit the best position for the unconscious person is to lie in the 'recovery' position. You should not put a person who has been badly injured into the 'recovery' position as you could make the injury worse by moving the person.
Your first aid teacher will tell you how to put a person into that position.
These are the steps that a person who has been trained in first aid will do.
Clearing the mouth
Tilt the head back to open the airway.
Look and feel if anything is in the mouth and scoop it out with the middle fingers. tilt the head back
The recovery position
Step 1
One arm out, the other arm folded to touch the shoulder step 1
Step 2
Support the head and lift the knee, keep your knees close to the body of your friend. Roll her gently away from you. If someone else is there - get her to help by supporting the head. step 2
Step 3
Recovery position
This needs to be done very carefully and slowly. step 3
Breathing
Check to see if she is breathing.
This is done by watching or feeling her lower chest to see if it is moving up and down.
You can check by putting your ear close to her face, so that you can feel or listen to find out if there is air coming out of her mouth.
Compression
If the person is not breathing – maybe the person has had a heart attack or has almost drowned - resuscition needs to be done. Pushing downwards carefully on the person's chest will help keep the person's blood circulating. The person who you have talked to on the emergency phone line will tell you how to do this.
You should not try this unless you have been trained to do so or someone is telling you just what to do.
If the person starts breathing again:
Carefully, but quickly, turn her back onto her side as she may vomit (throw up).
ambulanceIf she does vomit, then you may need to clear her mouth again if she is not fully awake
Stay with her.
Keep calm
Talk quietly to your friend.
Get help.
If no-one is around stay with her until someone comes along.
Defibrillate
When a person has had a heart attack their heart may beat too fast for the blood to go around their body normally. People who have been specially trained may be able to use a machine called a defibrillator (say de-fib-ril-ator). This shocks the heart into a normal rhythm.
There are now defibrillators in many public places such as some shopping centres, schools and workplaces. They are labelled AED and look like a small plastic or metal case.
Answering your questions
What if my baby sister is not breathing and I am looking after her?
* Call the Telephone Emergency number immediately (000 in Australia). The person answering the call will get an ambulance to your house as quickly as possible.
* You need to tell them your address and what the problem is.
* Don't hang up the phone.
* They will tell you what to do to help your sister.
* They might tell you to go through the steps of D.R.S.A.B.C.
* It's a good idea to have a list of emergency numbers by your phone. Look at our Emergency action planner for some ideas on what numbers you may need.
* Stay calm and don't feel bad if you cannot do resuscitation. It is difficult to do if you have not had any training.
Where can I do a First aid course?
In Australia, you can ask about courses at
* Red Cross
http://www.redcross.org.au/ourservices_acrossaustralia_firstaid_default.htm
* St John Ambulance
http://www.stjohn.org.au/index.phpoption=com_content&view=article&id=14&Itemid=24
* or your local Council may have courses running.
Why not ask the Student Representative Council at your school to ask if there could be courses in Basic First Aid for all year 6 and 7 students? What a great student initiative that would be!
Dr Kate says
Dr Kate"The most important thing to remember about first aid is that you have to keep yourself safe. Always look out for danger and send for help as soon as possible.
Just being there for your friend will make her feel better and you will be able to say what has happened when an adult or the ambulance people come along…..and that will be very helpful."
If your friend is bleeding you could help her stop the bleeding by getting her to put pressure on the part of the body which is bleeding. There is information about what to do in the topic 'First aid – bleeding'.
There are several other first aid topics on thie site:
First aid - bleeding
First aid - broken bones
First aid - burns
First aid - poisons
back to top
We've provided this information to help you to understand important things about staying healthy and happy. However, if you feel sick or unhappy, it is important to tell your mum or dad, a teacher or another grown-up.

Disasters Emergency PHILIPPINES TYPHOON APPEAL
Typhoon Haiyan tore a path of destruction over 100 miles wide through the central Philippines after making landfall early in the morning on the 8th of November local time. It brought torrential rain, winds of over 170mph and a storm surge of up to 25 feet that devastated coastal areas.
Over 14 million people where affected, including five million who have seen their homes damaged or destroyed. Over 6000 people lost their lives.
Donations from the UK public for the appeal raised £95 million and to date have helped over 900,000 people. DEC fundraising for this appeal is now closed; money raised for the appeal will be spent over the two year period ending in November 2016 and will help people affected by Haiyan recover and rebuild their lives. To support our member agencies ongoing work, please visit them via their
VISITING THE PHILIPPINES 25/11/2014
Clive Jones, DEC Chair, recently visited the Philippines nearly a year after Typhoon Haiyan to see member agencies at work.
It looked a bit a grim. Overnight rains had swelled the river that swings around the village of Salvacion, just north of Cebu, Philippines and our driver was not about to risk his precious 4 x 4 to get us through to the CARE housing scheme on the other side.
I was taking off my socks and shoes when help arrived in the form of the local garbage truck. I climbed aboard and we surged through the floodwater.
Welcome to the Philippines in the typhoon season and to the Barangay Salvacion where the villagers survive on farming mixed with recycling the area’s rubbish.
Back in November 2013 every home in Salvacion had been levelled by Typhoon Haiyan as it ripped through eight provinces killing over six thousand people, which many still think a woeful underestimate, and damaging or destroying more than one million homes.
The road to recovery
But Salvacion is back on its feet and everyone of its 63 households had been rebuilt thanks to the DEC member agency CARE. The recycling business is back in full flow and coconut trees (33 million were downed by the typhoon across the Philippines) and other crops are being planted again.
CARE with local partners has provided money, tools, skilled craftsmen, expertise and timber from its share of the £97 million raised by the DEC to get Salvacion back on its feet. Sustainable housing with extra buttresses and supports have been built by the villagers with the CARE team of roving carpenters.
Lives here have begun again. The local people are among the 318,650 in nearly 70,000 homes reached by CARE in the Philippines.
By the time I am ready to depart refreshed by local coconut milk and garlanded with flowers by the villagers the river has subsided and the 4 x 4 gets me through. Now it is on Magaswe in Upland Ormoc. We smash, bang and lurch for nearly two hours across what we would struggle to describe as a treacherous, muddy track let alone a road to get to our next barangay.
High in the mountains, Magaswe is remote. Tiny local horses akin to Shetland ponies are still used alongside motorbikes to get to and from local towns. The villagers are labourers in the local sugar cane fields. Life is tough and challenging. This was another village where every home was destroyed or badly storm damaged. Again the CARE team have worked miracles alongside the local carpenter and the committed self help of the barangay members.
The village is back up and running, the cane fields have been planted and the village school is in full swing. Most of last year’s crop was lost and despite the emergency food aid provided by the 13 DEC agencies in the Philippines there is still a food deficit. It will be seven or eight years before the coconut tress are bearing fruit again and the seeds for the new cash crops, including yam, banana and vegetable are in short supply. So CARE is providing a supplementary feeding programme for the primary school kids at Magaswe.
And it’s working.
Better marks are being achieved by every child in the school.
Return to Tacloban
We climb back into the 4 x 4 fortified by rice cakes still warm from the stove of one family who wanted to say thanks to the DEC, CARE and its local partners and lurch back through the mud towards Tacloban.
The city has patched itself up and roared back into urban life again. There are still many buildings to restore, but a lot have been repaired, new homes have been built and commerce is in full swing.
The need for emergency aid is long passed. Oxfam with its enthusiastic team of local staff are concentrating on livelihoods and sustainability.
ONE YEAR ON FROM TYPHOON HAIYAN 10/11/2014

Although DEC member agencies initially provided hundreds of thousands of people with emergency food, water and household items, giving cash grants formed a key part of the emergency response. Most local markets reopened very quickly and people appreciated the freedom to choose how they used the money. It also gave a much-needed boost to the local economy. Some agencies set up their own temporary markets using voucher schemes, or ran cash for work programmes such as removing debris and street cleaning.
Shelter and livelihoods are now the major needs in the Philippines. At first agencies provided tarpaulins, which are more flexible and cost-effective than tents. They quickly started providing shelter kits, which are an innovative approach that started to become more widespreat during the Haiti earthquake response. The kits include nails, timber, corrugated iron and tools.
Again, cash grants were common, as it was often quicker for recipients to buy materials locally than for NGOs to source and distribute the materials. Many people in rural areas hit by Haiyan relied on fishing and rice or coconut farming. Since coconut trees will take up to seven years to grow back there was an urgent need to find new, long-term income sources.
Agencies devised integrated programmes in which beneficiaries cleared damaged coconut groves, used the lumber for house building and any unusable trunks for fuel, and then planted seeds alongside the new coconut trees. This gave people money, lumber and the skills to raise new vegetable crops for sale. Temporary boat building production lines were created to re-start the fishing industry. There was a less pressing need for new livelihoods in towns and cities. Markets have returned and large parts of Tacloban city are functioning normally.
Although there were no large scale outbreaks of disease, member agencies worked on some water and sanitation projects, for example building latrines in damaged hospitals.
