In the San Francisco Bay Area, more than 400,000 could be displaced in a magnitude 7 earthquake on the Hayward fault, which directly runs underneath cities like Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward and Fremont, said Ken Hudnut, the U.S. Geological Survey’s science advisor for risk reduction. And it’s possible that more than 250,000 people in Southern California could be forced out of their homes after a major earthquake on the San Andreas fault, Hudnut said.
Not everyone will need to stay in public shelters — many will stay with relatives, friends and hotels. Still, more than 175,000 people may have no other choice than stay at a public shelter in Southern California, which could be could be challenged with acute shortages of food, water and medicine, according to ShakeOut, a USGS report simulating a major Southern California earthquake.

Arizona recently took a major step in dealing with this question. Officials in May launched a full-scale exercise that simulated a mass exodus of 400,000 evacuees from Southern California. The drill gave emergency workers a chance to consider how they would respond to the many elements of the disaster: providing food and shelter, helping unaccompanied minors, assisting in family reunification, and dealing with the transportation and resource hurdles

Grant phishing. “Send Us money”
Hey-hey! Ho-ho! Send them all to MEXICO!
Into the Pacific???
>>Most states aren’t going to want them so it will take a lot of “rulings” by the activist Feral “judges” that force the states to take these “unaccompanied minor refugees”.<<
During the depression the Governor of California sent Highway Patrol to the California border to keep others out.
SCOTUS ruled it cant be done.
Any LEGAL resident from any state can go anywhere in the USA unfettered.
Deport all illegals back to their home country...
Problem solved....
I lived in the Los Angeles area for 40 years before moving to NC 3 years ago. In all that time, only Loma Prieta (San Francisco;1989) and Northridge (Los Angeles; 1994) caused a lot off-road deaths and significant property damage. The “big one” might happen someday, but there have been only three 7.4 to 7.9 quakes in California in the past 146 years. Only one, the 1906 San Francisco quake, took hundreds to thousands of lives. So I would not recommend worrying about California quake refugees. Worry instead about the political earthquake that turned California’s state government bona fide communist.
They can go live with Jerry Brown, Maxine Waters, Gavin Newsom, Dianne Feinstein, Xavier Becera, and other liberal hacks trying to make California into a third-world Marxist country.

Hi BenLurkin. Thanks for posting this.
I just “escaped” San Diego after being there for a weekend. I’ve gone to SD the first weekend of June for a few years. There have always been a number of homeless living in tent cities, but this year there was a considerable number of homeless sleeping on streets and doorways in the downtown area. A cab driver told me that there had been a hepatitis outbreak in a major tent city and all “residents” were evicted and all their clothing and belongings were burned. So they started sleeping on the sidewalks.
I’ve even considered taking my sleeping bag next year for my trip and save the hotel cost.
All this to say, how is California going to subsidize the homeless if the Big One occurs. Can’t the displaced citizens start living on the streets. Okay, enough of my sarcasm. I hope your day is fabulous, my FRiend.

Man, who's the jack ball that came up with that one?
Nonsense....
I was there in the ‘89 quake.
Fireplaces collapsed, poorly reinforced concrete failed, power was lost for 3-5 days....
90% of the Bay Area was back working in a week.
Yes it took 6-12 months to get everything back working (Santa Cruz took the longest) but at most 1000 were homeless for a period of time.
Where? Into and under the Pacific Ocean, according to Edgar Cayce. Hope it happens on Oscar night. Thanks BenLurkin.
Not if we pull our 9.0 card out first.
They dealt it, they can smell it

Don’t send ‘em here, please!
I think we can disregard those individuals turned into pillars of salt.
