San Francisco Island presented an interesting scenario about how things might play out if "the big one," a 9.7+ earthquake were to hit San Francisco and it broke away from the mainland and floated 25 miles into the Pacific. The book focused on two families who were best friends and how they coped with activities of daily living in the first two weeks after the earthquake. The focal families were intelligent, very well prepared and upper middle-class. The book included many good things to think about and to do as part of a family's disaster preparedness. The book did not include any of the usual staples for this genre of books...no roving bands of looters, huge fires or mass hysteria. It was all very civilized and genteel.
