In the San Francisco Bay Area, more than 400,000 could be displaced in a magnitude 7 earthquake on the Hayward fault, which directly runs underneath cities like Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward and Fremont, said Ken Hudnut, the U.S. Geological Survey’s science advisor for risk reduction. And it’s possible that more than 250,000 people in Southern California could be forced out of their homes after a major earthquake on the San Andreas fault, Hudnut said.
Not everyone will need to stay in public shelters — many will stay with relatives, friends and hotels. Still, more than 175,000 people may have no other choice than stay at a public shelter in Southern California, which could be could be challenged with acute shortages of food, water and medicine, according to ShakeOut, a USGS report simulating a major Southern California earthquake.

Arizona recently took a major step in dealing with this question. Officials in May launched a full-scale exercise that simulated a mass exodus of 400,000 evacuees from Southern California. The drill gave emergency workers a chance to consider how they would respond to the many elements of the disaster: providing food and shelter, helping unaccompanied minors, assisting in family reunification, and dealing with the transportation and resource hurdles

How about back to Mexico?

“They will be the first to experience fuel or food shortages, cellphones getting overloaded and a medical surge,” said Judy Kioski, spokeswoman for the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs. “We’re worried about where are people going to shelter, how do we feed them, and family reunification.”
The exercise included mass of tents on a field near Phoenix simulating a shelter; some acted as evacuees, others practiced how to render aid.
Some lessons have been already learned. “One of the things we identified was turning rest areas into locations where we could have additional information, and providing hard copies of information if cellphones go out,” Kioski said.
The Hawaiian volcano going off and now the Guatamalan volcano is making people nervous in California, imho.

You beat me to it.
Most states aren’t going to want them so it will take a lot of “rulings” by the activist Feral “judges” that force the states to take these “unaccompanied minor refugees”.
Back home to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvado, Somalia and Nigeria.
“The Big One could leave 250,000-400,000 quake refugees in California. Where will they go?”
Not here.
An earthquake in San Francisco? Hasn’t that poor town suffered enough with the queers, the feces in the street, and the needles?
+1000!

Half of them are already homeless stew bums so what difference does it make?
Just what we need around here; more homeless. Excuse me, I mean, unsheltered citizens.
Nancy Pelosi’s vast estate.
Where will they go?
California?
No matter how devastating the quake, residents will still say the weather is really nice.
