San Francisco moderates fear a progressive wave is coming
A major earthquake struck a coastal region today, causing widespread damage and triggering emergency response efforts. Government agencies reported hundreds of injuries and at least a dozen fatalities, with several neighborhoods left without power and water access.
Rescue teams are prioritizing active search operations for survivors in collapsed buildings, while hospitals are bracing for a surge in patients. International aid organizations have begun mobilizing medical supplies, shelter, and food, with several countries offering assistance.
Officials urged residents to stay away from damaged structures and to follow advisories on aftershocks and evacuation routes. Local authorities declared a citywide emergency and announced temporary shelters and helplines for displaced residents.
