About the anniversary of the 1906 earthquake. This weekend marks the 106th anniversary of the earthquake. When we all can look back on our history and remember during that time, not only did the earthquake hit and it really physically destroyed buildings and many parts of our city, there was a very devastating fire that occurred. And, in fact, over 3,000 people lost their lives. And during that time, san franciscans didnt throw up their hands. We took to our feet, we came together with businesses, with people from all over the city and we focused on rebuilding. We got through that because we came together. We got through the 1906 earthquake because we worked together. Because we didnt throw up our hands. We focused on recovery. And that really is the spirit of what it means to be a san franciscan. It really does represent who we are, because we focus on how do we get through this and how do we move forward and how do we become better than ever . This is a resilient city because of that
