Doctors worried especially about diseases that might breed in the unclean water and decaying bodies of humans and animals.
Undertakers volunteered for the gruesome task of preparing over 2,000 bodies for burial. 700 of the victims could not be identified. They were buried together in a new cemetery built high above the town. Recovering the bodies took weeks and cleaning up debris took months. Five thousand homes had been destroyed, so many families lived in tents.

General Hastings took charge for several months, making sure relief supplies went to survivors who needed them and keeping the press from taking over the town.
