| Summary | "San Francisco Relief Survey" by the Russell Sage Foundation is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work documents the organization and methods of relief employed in the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquake and fire that struck San Francisco in 1906. The survey provides detailed insights into the challenges faced during the relief efforts and emphasizes the importance of rehabilitation for the victims affected by this disaster. The opening of the book outlines the immediate aftermath of the San Francisco earthquake, explaining the extent of the destruction caused by both the tremor and the subsequent fire that engulfed much of the city. It introduces key figures involved in the relief operations, such as the Citizens’ Committee and representatives from the American National Red Cross, emphasizing the urgent need for organized response to address the basic needs of the population made homeless. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at the complexities of mobilizing relief efforts, including the struggle to provide adequate supplies, build shelters, and restore a sense of normalcy to a devastated community.
