Prepared for the Russell Sage Foundation by social workers who took part in it, this survey describes how relief was organised after the earthquake and fire of April 1906: raising a force of volunteers, distributing food and clothing, managing the relief funds, running the refugee camps and cottage settlements, and the slower work of rehabilitating families and households.
