EARTHQUAKE: THE LONG ROAD BACK : Damage Report

Here are some facts and figures on the aftermath of last week’s magnitude 6.6 earthquake:

* DEATHS: State estimate increased to 57

* INJURIES: More than 7,707 people have been treated and released at hospitals; about 1,495 were admitted for care.

* AFTERSHOCKS: Aftershocks with magnitudes of 3.8 and 3.6 rumbled through the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys Wednesday. More than 2,500 aftershocks have been recorded since the Jan. 17 magnitude 6.6 quake.

* DAMAGE: More than 21,777 buildings had been inspected. Officials have declared 5,222 buildings, including 14,884 dwelling units, at least partially unsafe.

* ARRESTS: One week after the quake, the Los Angeles Police Department has taken 405 people into custody. Most were general arrests and not for curfew violations or looting. On a typical day, there are about 530 arrests in the city.

* HOMELESS: Almost 3,000 remained housed in Army tents at six San Fernando Valley parks as another storm approaches. Thirty-three tents have already been removed from Lanark Recreation Center.

* NATIONAL GUARD: Officials said some of the 1,199 National Guard troops mobilized to help in disaster-relief efforts will begin moving out of the city, but some of them will be replaced by Guard troops from other areas. More than 40 Guard troops are helping clean and repair schools; 63 other bilingual Guard troops are acting as translators.

* UTILITIES: Electricity has been restored to all but a handful of customers. Directives to boil water remained in effect for the Santa Monica Mountains, Pacific Palisades and the West Valley. At least 120,000 customers have had gas service restored since the quake, but several thousand more remained without gas because service personnel could not gain entry into homes or businesses. Customers are urged to have someone at home or leave keys with neighbors and call the gas company at (800)427-2200.

* TRANSIT: The Metropolitan Transportation Authority set up a line called the Westside Special to help commuters cope with the shutdown of the Santa Monica Freeway (I-10). A commuter hot line, (800) 286-RIDE, has been set up to provide information on car pools, road closures and other information.

* HELP: The 17th disaster application center will open today at the David Gonzales Recreation Center, 10943 Herrick Ave., Pacoima.
