With the majority of access to San Francisco intact, transportation of the injured will only be hampered by those people from; to evacuate. Hundreds of thousands of people will likely have to evacuate; some permanently, others for weeks or months. California’s disaster planning for major earthquakes may help in the effort to find shelter and food for all those evacuating. It is unlikely that San Francisco will be habitable for many years to come. Cleanup and decontamination after the initially high radiation levels have subsided will take years, if even attempted – the cost will be incredibly high.
